In my view a referendum should require a reasonably large majority,
maybe 60:40, to take effect, certainly if it affects the constitution.
I would apply that equally to the Scots referendum, and Brexit.

Otherwise they threaten to tear countries apart.



Just because you lost. And are in denial over the fact you were lied to,
and believed it.,

Since almost none of the economic disasters predicted have happened,
except in the rest of the EU, a referendum tomorrow would probably net a
far far bigger majority.

I suppose we could have one referendum a week until.we got to 60%, but
them you'ld say 75%, wouldn't you?
