In the future should all referenda be Best of 3? Or 5 if the result isn’t as required?

Do you also believe that parliamentary elections should not be held regularly? Evidence from where? Pro-EU press or just your opinion. So are you saying we should have a referendum every few years? Presumably only if the results do not meet your agenda. Please answer me one thing: If we hold another referendum and the result is the same, would you be prepared to honour it or would you say, we need another one as some young people have now reached the voting age?

Do you also believe that parliamentary elections should not be held regularly? You didn't care about giving a referendum when there was significant anti EU feeling before 2016 and we hadn't had a vote for over forty years. So this argument carries no weight. Only a person who had called for regular votes on EU membership would have any validity with this. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

You can have as many marches and petitions as you like. These are just today's gimmicks to amuse the kids. This ain't a telly game show. The only vote that counts is that through the ballot box, and it's about time people respected it. Originally posted by steeleye20 Brexit petition to revoke article 50 reaches 5m signatures.

Originally posted by Mapletree Using my logic you have a referendum when it appears strongly likely the electorate has a different view to the status quo. In reality as I have said before I do not think plebiscites work, there is too much information and it's impossible to get anywhere approaching objectivity with such a huge number of people to educate. So instead populism holds sway. Nevertheless, the genie is out of the bottle, damage is being done and we need to cauterise the problem. It appears a third referendum may be one of very few possibilities. To repeat, if the electorate doesn't want Brexit then it is undemocratic to force it upon them. If the electorate does want Brexit then its reaffirmation will be useful in the negotiations. And as you clearly believe the people want Brexit - and that the second referendum wasn't an aberration driven by other issues than EU membership - you have nothing to fear from one. So get behind it and achieve your reaffirmation. You know it makes sense. Complete self serving waffle. When will stop this drivel? The electorate is ignorant of many things and yet we allow them to elect a government on a regular basis. Most of what they hear is disinformation, so you could argue that they could only be better disinformed for another referendum. Any reasons claimed for a second referendum could be argued for a third and fourth and fifth. In short, there is no justification whatever to waste time purely because the losing side didn't like losing and deludes itself that it is intellectually superior. Just let it go please. It's becoming truly pathetic.
