Reply to: May announces plans for the Second Referendum

And change the rules so May is Prime Minister forever.

Putin didn't change to rules to that extend, he just stepped down for 1 term, in favor if his PM Medvedev, then swapped back. All legal and according according to the voters wishes...

EU doesn't know what the UK wants

Lets face it, the governnment has two simultaneous objectives of staying more or less in the EU and crashing out without a deal depending on who you talk to in the cabinet.

Indeed very true.

there is also a big difference between 'being in a partnership with' and 'being governed by'.

Nothing has changed legally that is just a couple of slogans.

Big difference between being in a partnership with places like France, Belgium, Germany, Italy and being in a partnership with a wide variety of extra countries such as Bulgaria and Romania and giving their citizens unrestricted access to our shores

Say what you like but in my view anywhere the local air force is flying Mig fighters is not Europe in my view

Right and which country pushed to get the Eastern European countries in ?

In the EEC the UK was subject to laws and regulations from the EEC and anyone from the EEC had a right to a job in the UK.

For the UK things haven't fundamentally changed. It has changed for countries in the Eurozone. The UK isn't in the Eurozone.

Also in 1975 the vote was to join the EEC.

In 2016 the vote was about leaving European Union.

Does not seem to have been any vote in between the 2 which changed the EEC to the EU though.

The 1975 referendum to join was NO = 32.7% YES = 67.23%
The 2016 referendum to remain was NO = 51.89% YES = 48.11%

The average of the two referendums is; Remain 57.67%, we should have remained

If you weren't such a deluded moron, you'd have known that the 1975 referendum wasn't to join - we'd already been in for 2 years. What sort of a colossal farkwit wants to take the average of 2 different votes 41 years apart? Oh, and we have our answer.

The leavers are very touchy angry people, tut tut....

Leavers lose referendum = angry leavers
Leavers win referendum = angry leavers
No referendum = leavers moan

Better of with no referendum

Planet run by squirrels makes more sense than Brexit...

If you live on a planet run by squirrels, possibly. On Earth, however, it's a different story.

At the last count, about 48% of the voting public!
And many of them haven't stopped whining and gurning ever since!
