    We support him. we just can't be bothered to argue with the uneducated

    In the 1st referendum, the young did not vote in large numbers. Their problem I know, but if they had the chance again they would vote in much larger numbers and reverse the referendum. This is why the Tories wouldn't dare have a 2nd ref, as they know this time Remain would win and May would be out of the door. Corbyn is also anti EU so a 2nd ref would force him to choose sides, and the young vote would see that he is not really on their side so he would lose major time in a GE. Labour therefore do not also support a 2nd ref.

    I'll be watching the shambles as Brexit takes hold.

      The gap between leave and remain was more than 1.25m votes. Is there any suggestion that 1.25m young voters would suddenly appear out of the woodwork and uniquely vote remain?

      A second referendum, but with a 60% result required to change the original referendum otherwise the original result stands? That could encourage the pro-remain side to talk up the benefits of the EU rather than the downsides of leaving. The negative project fear campaign from the remain side is what swung it for leave.

        It would mean showing how tulip the UK government is and so would never happen.

          No cake, no eating it and by the looks of it, an EEA style exit: https://www.theguardian.com/politics...t-negotiations
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                So how many of you keyboard jockeys have been down to see your MP about this?

                  Remain: Talk, speak against corruption, challenge ideas that Brexit would deliver that'll clearly fail.

                  Leave: Shout, , insults, defend failed leaders...

                  Do you see a pattern?

                    Scooterscot. Backed Scottish Indyref - lost. Backed Remain - lost. Do you see a pattern?

                      The vote was advisory. Don't think anyone here voted for driving the car off a cliff at low tide without airbags.
