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.
MTFU.

We can have as many referendums as we want.
I think you'll find that most "Remoaners" would be perfectly happy with a referendum every two years if there was a demands for one, even if they won one, there was certainly no out cry when the first one was announced.
The reason why there is such an outcry about a second referendum is because the "winners" know it was a fluke and that 9 times out of 10 they'd lose.

Brexit is such a vast and complicated thing that there are really no definitive answers. A multi-year set of negotiations can easily reach the point that by the end, nobody wants what is agreed anymore. Equally each party (or even each MP) has their own vision for what Brexit should look like and what direction to push the negotiations in, so why should the version of Brexit we get come down to who is PM presiding over things.
The referendum left things rather trapped... maybe it should've asked "should we trigger Article 50". As it is the people have spoken and the politicians have agreed to follow them but by the time things are being finalised, that will be years in the past.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Nothing wrong with referendums, it's what democracy is all about. I actually quite enjoy them and General elections
Before the referendum there was never ending moaning about Europe, in spite of the clear decision in 1975.I'm alright JackComment

There should have been a referendum on Maastricht. Though even if the UK had voted against, they would probably have been told to keep voting until the right answer was voted for.Comment
