Bremoaners - the sooner they are culled the better

There should be a Brexit app. All eligible voters have a Remain / Leave status which they update whenever they change their mind. Newly eligible voters record their status for the first time, and voters who lose eligibility have their status discounted.

Any time the balance changes, Article 50 is invoked or withdrawn accordingly.

we'd be in and out like the proverbial fiddler's elba

We had a referendum to stay in the EEC which at the time consisted of 9 countries and was geared around freedom of trade.

Not quite the same.

Most of the new countries who joined are there because of the UK's efforts to get them in.

...and they're still at it.

Well, Great-Grandpapa was Minister of the Interior of the Ottoman Empire.

Don't believe in democracy.

Now that's just not true. It's just that I'd prefer that thick people didn't have the vote.

Can't provide a single argument - just insults.

Why can't we all just be friends?

[WTFH]

Much though I am loath to agree, good points. Where did you copy it from?

On this basis, should not the referendum be re-run every few years?

The death figure here is for England & Wales, I extrapolated from there:

And 17 year olds:

So I rounded them to:
50k per month death rate
60k per month hitting 18 years old.

I’m not saying the referendum should be run every couple of years but that perhaps once any deals are finally struck the numbers of those still alive/of voting age will have changed significantly.

It's reasonable to have a referendum on the term of the exit deal. There is no mandate for or against leaving the EEA.

Whining, unpleasant and moronic. Don't believe in democracy. Can't provide a single argument - just insults.

And that is just the CUK mods(apart from cojak) who has the good sense to keep quiet. The rest are even worse.

Hopefully they will soon be rounded up and sent for extermination.

If you kill off all the remain voters, who’s going to pay taxes to make sure the leavers still get their heating allowance and pension?

There was nothing democratic about the referendum. No one could possible understand the choice being made. Even until this day politicians do not know what it should look like despite lying through their teeth during the hustings.

There was something democratic about the referendum. People got votes.

It's just regrettable that the implications of the referendum are complex, an awful lot of people are stupid, and the campaign was conducted negatively by the Remain side, and dishonestly by the Leave side.

You could make the same argument about general elections. Very few are well informed about every issue when deciding which party to vote for and there are so many unknowns that even the wisest & most knowledgeable are taking a gamble.

Most vote with their instincts and in their own interests and that is probably the wisest thing they can do. Societies are more likely to work if we go with the realities of human nature rather than pursue impractical ideals that ignore them.
