Second vote?

[cwhaley]

A GE you can alter your position by the next election, so it's only binding for a few years.

The question itself was not well written, it did not define the alternative.

In your research what type of Brexit have you concluded is best?

The question asked was quite clear -- should Britain remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union? It is up to our government - who should be acting in the best interests of us and our nation - to get the best deal we can an

Granted it's a huge decision for a voter, but there was at the time and still is a torrent of information available to us as a population to help us make an informed vote. We can't just "have another go" because some feel not enough people knew what they were voting for.

The best type of Brexit I concluded would be one where we left with a deal leaving us as least bound to the EU's rules and restrictions as possible. The EU will do everything they can to make this difficult and to make us an example to other countries with high anti-EU sentiment. Should a favourable deal not be found, then we should leave with no deal. That is the summative result of my own research -- how much do you want to pick it apart and analyse it?

It will not be clean, there will be impacts felt for a long time, but in the long run breaking free from this future superstate is a good move for us.

Please give us some examples of "making things difficult."

Do you include "not giving the benefits of membership to a country that is not a member?"

It is not a simple binary option but a choice of three outcomes.

Er, a choice of 3 options is commonly suggested by remainers since it is designed to split the leave vote in 2.

I voted to leave the European Union based on my own weighted research and having worked for the European Commission.

I find it interesting that somebody with knowledge of working within the commission voted to leave.

Remainers never ever mention the fact that the European union, which started out as a simple EEC trading block has become a political union with ambitions to become a federal state.

The Brexit negotiations prove that it is not possible to leave, so that shows the European union has unlimited powers, to do what it likes. Brexit will only accelerate the pricess towards a federal state.

The Irish border
Timescales
The "unpaid debts" (projects, EU pensions, etc.)
Adding countless 'conditional extras' to any trade deal we want to forge
Tariffs

Wondered if you'd use that classic! No.

I got an internship there and worked with my ex-pat Uncle who also worked at the commission. I was in first-contact with key stakeholders in decision-making and I heard the conversations in corridors, meetings, conferences... their ambitions and what they want to achieve is to be frank, scary.

Please read the rest of my comment.
Like Ellal you have failed to fully understand the principles of preferential voting.

Sir Gal,Your 60% comments highlight,you just don't grasp the basics,you write volumes to cover it up(common tactic) but really have not a clue.

If the ref had been to stay in...Sir Gal etc would have been praising democracy,the govt,etc,sore losers.

It does, unfortunately split the leave voters.

Therefore a binary vote should simply be accept the deal, or walk away. But that vote is irrelevant, the referendum was stay or leave, it decided leave. Any result from that is what the Government negotiates, there is no need for another vote. We get what the Government decides is the best, it was voted for.

However, the 2 binary choices are not what the referendum promised. We were promised, benefits and advantages, not just the choice of 2 worse choices. A lot of people now know they were misled, and the 2 choices are not what they voted for.

So the 3rd choice has to be included. Failure to do so accepts only choosing between 2 worse choices than present.

Who voted to be worse off ? Anybody ?

If the referendum had had details of the choices it would have been indisputable.

It didn't. It isn't!

 

[Yafo]

Only your first two options need to be selected.

.

We have already had that vote.

Following your logic we should now have a vote on

1 leave on the terms

2 leave on wto.

Go for it, I would love to see the result. Do you think it would be a big turnout?

Which of the 2 choices would you go for?

I would spoil my paper !

I will not vote to make my country, my family, or myself worse off ! Why would you ?

 

[durhamplumber]

Sir Galahad wishes to have a system where one is only worthy of a vote if you have a economics/politics phd and vote the same way he does!.Proper democrat
