When is a u-turn by the public not to be allowed as it would be undemocratic?

Never

Never

Why are you so anti-democratic? What are you most afraid of?

Poor old DP appears to have been confused by the double negative

But DP might just fear that he's got it all horribly wrong but would never admit it!

Never

So a u-turn by the public is never to be not allowed.

What caused you to finally see sense on that issue?

I dont really see it as a U turn.

I see it as a different vote.

I dont see this argument a second referendum is not democratic, if a person vote leave before they are free to vote leave againl

I suppose leavers thinks its undemocratic because they are worried that the idea of leaving the EU has become less popular -ie they are worried their fellow leavers may have swapped sides.

Why do you think endless referendums help

[JohnD]

three in fifty years is hardly "endless."

referendums

The in or out of the EU ref' was not enough - clearly.

John D up to his old trick of selectively quoting.
No U turn, Dodds was just restating what has always been DUP policy.
Dodds also said he wants to see Brexit delivered.
It isn't up to the DUP whether the UK stays in the EU or not.
Actions speak louder than words, unlike Mogg, Johnson and the others who claimed that the EU would go the the brink and then fold it was they who folded like a plastic cup.

It isn't up to the DUP whether the UK stays in the EU or not.

Theresa paid a £billion bribe to NI to buy DUP support.

Money down the drain.

They're never supported her deal, and there is no other.
