We had one chance to leave the EU, in a lifetime. We have elections every four or five years. I'm not going to vote in a referendum, based on the government that's currently in power. One step at a time. The EU aren't a restraint on the Conservative government, any more than they were on the last Labour government.

It would have been entirely reasonable to vote on the premise that the Tories/right-wing will hold power and policy for the next decade pre- during and after Brexit. No way would I trust that lot to look out for the poorer members of society and no chance would I trust then not to unravel some safeguards enacted through the Social Charter disguised as 'helping the needy'

We have only had a conservative government for one and a half years since 1997.

I think that taxes will have to rise given brexit and the massive public debt the country has. For brexit it would be fair for the brexiteers to pay for it through a brexit tax collected by HMRC but not by remain voters as that would be taxation without representation. The brexiteers are enjoying the damage they are causing and its fair IMO that they should pay for it all.

Some of the rubbish you come out with is absolute diarrhea and where you get these stupid ideas is beyond me it really is!

Not as great as they would have been if we'd done it twenty years ago, but there will be plenty if arseholes stop trying to circumvent the democratic vote and we can ever carry it out.
