Another vote by whom?

It doesn't mean that your views are final if you manage to convince a
small number more to vote for it by lies or anything else.
Its the same as staying, it isn't final and the electorate can change
their mind later.

Is this the old EU trick of voting again and again until you get the
"right" answer, Den?


No its the old UKIP one.

I thought I might summon the energy to point out the dishonesty of
calling multiple referenda to achieve the EU loyalist result one wants
an "EU trick". It is, of course, the trick of various sovereign
governments of independent EU states which themselves (said governments)
wish to achieve a pro-EU answer. In other words, cynical trick it might
be but the EU is *not* responsible for it; except to the extent of
it being a highly desirable organisation to belong to.
