Post–referendum polling
Would be interesting to see some post GE polling."
I clicked two or three at random, and the title says "YouGov / The Times". If it is the Times newspaper, known to be fanatically pro-Remain, they are probably desperately hoping the numbers will change, so they can start trumpeting a change of heart and the consequent need for a new referendum.Work in the public sector?

Originally posted by sal View PostI wonder why the Brexiteers are so fiercely opposed to a second referendum? May it because they realise that the original vote was "won" only because of blatant lies and misinformation in the Leave campaign and people using it as a protest vote not realising the consequence. And that after an year of discussions on the topic they don't stand a chance of winning again?
If the Government was free to call GE just for kicks, where is the problem in calling a new referendum?
Voters are (allegedly) all adults and as such should be able to make their minds up, vote and then live with the majority decision.. Or would you rather have second (or a third or a fourth.. rinse and repeat) referendum every time the vote didn't go your way?
Pathetic.

You do realise that regardless of the result it was purely to inform parliament? No actions were promised as a result of the result to MPs.
I suspect you realise that if this was now binding and a result mentioned the vote would be different. Similarly, the result before could have been different, if actions for each were promised.
In fact I don't actually believe it would be possible to propose ANY binding referendum without a manifesto-style document for each possibility.
Right now our county has zero idea what it's doing, and that's including the MPs. That doesn't worry you in the slightest?
I would be saying this on a 'remain' result and I would similarly call it a whitewash.
Edit: if you're so sure of your own reasoning regarding this referendum process, does it bother you in the slightest that the referendum was advisory? If not, that seems rather weird. What's the difference between an advisory and binding referendum then?
Exactly.Last edited by contractorinatractor; 12 June 2017, 17:49.Comment

Originally posted by milanbenes View PostAfternoon All,
well, as recent events have shown the country doesn't want Brexit, and now the Government and everybody are starting to water down Brexit to the point where there is no Brexit, do you think if we just ask Brussels nicely to forget about it, and we stop talking about it, it will go away.
I mean, the Elephant in the room was always that nobody wanted Brexit.
