Had the 2016 referendum gone the other way, I don't expect that those who believed in a brexit - of whatever sort - would have just shrugged their shoulders, thought "ah, well", and never mentioned the subject ever again. I fully expect that they would have kept airing their views, and campaigning for their ideas, as is their right to do so. Likewise, those who believe in remaining in the EU are equally free to say so if they choose. They can form political parties or other organizations to promote this if they want, and may even at some point in the future succeed in achieving this; whether you (or I) like that or not. Having a different opinion to the majority - whether a marginal majority, or a significant one - is allowed in our democracy. We are also allowed to speak quite freely, whether in favour of majority opionions, or against them. We can vote for one electoral candidate this time, and another the next. We can vote tactically for candidates or parties or proposals we do not like - in order to stop something we see as worse - just as we might vote directly for our first preference. Campaigners for policies that differ from the current ones are not ignoring democracy. They are an integral part of how democracy works. #Paul |

So what's wrong with those that voted stay wanting another vote? Like I said levers idea of democracy is that if it doesn't go their way its not democracy. |

As has been said by many others, things have moved on in the last 2+ years. If they are still the minority you claim, what are you risking by allowing this to be confirmed? Curiously, my wife voted leave. More curiously she could not explain why. Some emotional mix of sovereignty and our place in the world. -- Tim Lamb |

SteveW Except that rejoining would almost certainly be on different terms. And the sheer disruption of leaving is huge. It is an awful lot to go through if in, say, three or seven years, we turn round and say "Please...". Should a future rejoin referendum indicate desire to rejoin, those who voted against would not simply go "OK" and leave it be. They would continue to argue we should not rejoin. And ask for another referendum because, well, because their view is the opposite. I am also trying to see ANY future UK government ever holding another referendum. I suspect they would impose a requirement for more than a thin majority to carry the result into action. I know full well it wouldn't really work, but I have imagined holding such a referendum *every* year. But waiting for perhaps three consecutive "change of state" results before acting. And even then, properly preparing, taking whatever time is required. |

Democracy: is it being suggested that the majority is always in the right? Like in Rwanda, where the Hutu majority decided to kill off 70% of the Tutsi minority? I'll quote someone else quoting Ibsen: The Minority is Always Right when I heard this quote from Ibsens An Enemy of the People for the first time about 15 years ago it sounded absurd to me, in large part because it went against the most fundamental principle of democracy, which says that we are to follow the majoritys will. However, as years went by, I started realizing the most profound wisdom of this statement. I have been periodically thinking about this quote in so many different situations, and I find more and more ways in which the minority seems to be right, while the majority seems to be so off. When I first came across that line, I spent some time thinking it through and came up with so many possible interpretations. Yes, those who dislike the EU and have wanted to leave for a long time, who at least *were* a minority, should not be trampled simply because the majority thinks otherwise. Their fears, concerns, etc., need to be considered. They might well have some rightness. At the same time, a minority which becomes a majority should not dismiss everyone else. |

If we leave now for no good reason then when we rejoin we will have to join the Euro, contribute more and meet other EU requirements as for other countries. Remain voters should start a campaign to rejoin immediately. |

We are also allowed to speak quite freely, whether in favour of majority opionions, or against them. We can vote for one electoral candidate this time, and another the next. We can vote tactically for candidates or parties or proposals we do not like - in order to stop something we see as worse - just as we might vote directly for our first preference. Campaigners for policies that differ from the current ones are not ignoring democracy. They are an integral part of how democracy works. That's not the democracy the brexiteers want. That statement,in itself, is an abrogation of democracy. Brexiteers are unwilling to accept that the people may have changed their mind and refuse to find out. That is unless they wanted the people to change their mind to suit what they wanted. It is simply too soon. The result of the referendum was leave and it is time to actually do so and allow enough years for any short term problems to work through. Then, in the medium to long term, after it has had time to bed in and become normal. if people want a referendum on rejoining, fine. At the moment remainers want to reverse the result before it has even been implemented, never mind before it has actually been tried! SteveW Except that rejoining would almost certainly be on different terms. And the sheer disruption of leaving is huge. It is an awful lot to go through if in, say, three or seven years, we turn round and say "Please...". Should a future rejoin referendum indicate desire to rejoin, those who voted against would not simply go "OK" and leave it be. They would continue to argue we should not rejoin. And ask for another referendum because, well, because their view is the opposite. I am also trying to see ANY future UK government ever holding another referendum. I suspect they would impose a requirement for more than a thin majority to carry the result into action. I know full well it wouldn't really work, but I have imagined holding such a referendum *every* year. But waiting for perhaps three consecutive "change of state" results before acting. And even then, properly preparing, taking whatever time is required. The EUSSR wil be gone in a few years. Especially if we leave Bet it isnt gone in a few years. Because it does work pretty well for the dregs of europe. |

Threats and abuse are not the same, also there is far more abuse from brexiteers. The entire brexiteer campaign is based on rubbishing anyone that disagrees with their lies. They have no answer to any questions so they immediately resort to abuse. |

The reason is because (as you say), they can't deal with someone disagreeing with them (might be something to with brain lateralisation or something g) and because, like a trapped animal (albeit trapped by their own doing) they don't have any real / logical / truthful / practical answers so lash out. *If* there were some real / tangible / factual answers re why 'most people' *would* be better off outside the EU (so none of this Sovereignty bollox) then it would be a done deal by now. Who wouldn't want to be better off (for all interpretations of said)? We would happily let the fanatic crusaders have the Sovereignty bollox, *IF* it came with real benefits to most people but there is not a shred of evidence that it would, or certainly not enough to outweigh all the benefits we would lose because we weren't part of the EU. The Brexiteers are like the directors of a big organisation who need to cut costs so after a 1000 lunch bill, decide to sack Nelly the tea lady, saving 15k/pa but costing much more than that in reduced worker morale and worker time wasted away from their desks going to the kitchen / vending machines. They didn't think it through ... Cheers, T i m |
