How would a second vote be any more valid than the first? Which part of because it would include the people most affected by the outcome did you struggle with? Also because the likely nature of our exit is fully articulated. May's deal or WTO terms. I do not believe that was at all clear at the vote two years ago. And by the way, the real effects have come home to roost for some people. I lost my job as a direct result. I was at a lecture in the City last week about European Union visas and the volume of movements being prepared - out of London mostly to Frankfurt and Paris - was absolutely stunning. I had not fully appreciated the scale. Edited by Mapletree (11 Dec 2018 5.14pm)

Nail on the head, Willo. All this clamouring for the so-called 'People's Vote' and nobody seems to have a clue what the question should actually be. The whole notion of it is farcical. If people don't like the deal - fair enough, many won't. It's the you didn't understand what you were voting for bit that I find disingenuous.

You said it was a once in a lifetime decision. That decision was made.

Well it would have to be a binding vote on the government and the government would have to put measures in place to carry out the result, if you want another vote.

Why will it be worse? Or do you want me to believe the same people who told me, that just in the event of Leave winning on June 23rd, 500,000 people would lose their jobs? And that the country would enter a recession? And both those were presented as nailed on facts by HMG's Treasury. That's easily answered. Why would you go to great lengths and dramatic change if there's no benefit ? All brexiters say is it won't be as bad as people make out, but never explain how we'll be better off. Then why bother?

Some more educated than others. But look at how the world has changed. Global communications are becoming easier by the day, containerisation has revolutionised global trade and in short the we can do business with other parts of world far more easily. Why would we want to tie ourselves down to a 'single market'? Or be part of a political entity in which our hands are tied because of having to make sure that 26 other nations are on board, along with having to marry our own legal system with that of the Napoleonic version prevalent in the rest of Europe? Is there an argument to be made for a federalised Europe? Quite possibly. But it is not being made, at least in the open. Otherwise, the EU is an anachronism which at best, is a tired old format with questionable democratic accountability (ask yourself which Europen citizen ever voted for anybody in the Commission) and at worst, with the disastrous single currency project, imposed more suffering on Europe during peacetime than anything since the bubonic plague. The UK is far better off free from the shackles of the European Union which is in desperate trouble.

It was Cameron. It is clear he didn't think the vote would be to leave, I doubt very much we would have had a vote if he had thought differently.
