Re: EU Referendum
FFS all of these whingeing, whining throw your toys out of the pram REMAINERS
ask yourself this question
Why did the UK have a vote and who called it?
Heres a reminder
The Conservative Party promised the electorate a vote on Britain’s EU membership if they won the 2015 general election. Cameron triumphed, winning a majority of the members of parliament and was asked for the second time by the Queen to form a government.
Cameron spent the months after the general election touring the capitals of Europe trying to win concessions from European leaders for a special package for Britain so he could recommend to the British people the country stay in the reformed EU.
The Conservative Party has been divided on Britain’s EU membership for more than 30 years — many want Britain to withdraw, take back control of the country’s borders and roll back EU regulations.
So rather than having a go at Brexiter voters blame the person who called the vote.

And the reason Cameron called it was to stuff UKIP in addition to uniting the Tory party. And that has actually worked, which was the silver living because now they no purpose having won.

Re: EU Referendum
Cameron is really to blame for all this. Even though he was pressured to have the referendum, he should have had an agenda for BOTH scenarios. That's his job at the end of the day. You don't quit because it didn't go the way you wanted. Serve the country mate, you had one job!

Re: EU Referendum
Does anyone think that the establishment can somehow manipulate the public into holding a second referendum on Brexit (and thus we get to see an opposite outcome)?

Re: EU Referendum
You mean keep trying until the Gov get the result they want. Remember approx 1 million more people voted to leave. Thats a lot of minds to change.

Re: EU Referendum
The only way that minds would be changed would be to get better terms from the EU, that kind of smacks of blackmail- accept these terms and we might reconsider...ain't gonna happen

Re: EU Referendum
Well, how about those lazy butts who were on the Remain side but didn't come out to vote, or those who voted for Exit but didn't understand what it actually means and are having their eyes opening up to the new reality. I am sure they won't mind having a second chance.
