    No, like everything else, you misunderstand democracy. I posted a defintion for you and other simplistic idots. As ever it went in one ear and out the other because you don't hear anything that doesn't align with your distorted worldview. Democracy is being able to choose someone else to act on your behalf. Normally the choice of people excludes raving idiots, and that's how we normally avoid Brexit catastrophes.

    I mean just look at the uproar over the fuel hikes in France right now.

    And no for clarity the economy of the EU does not rest on British people getting pissed abroad.

    However some parts of the EU would miss the tourist pound.

    It stems from his innumeracy.
    Given the cretious nature of certain Brits, I am amazed Portugal has not banned UK holiday home owners already.

    I think that will need to be established before a referendum. There'll need to be an extension period too.

    Which is what it should have been in the first place rather than Brexit cheerleaders misleading people that they could have their cake and eat it.

Yes there will be demands because the EU holds all the cards if we want to rescind our A50.

    There are also other regulations that the EU need to follow (for example, they cannot change any rebate until the end of this financial period, and even then it requires the agreement of all member states, and we are still a member state).

    The French and German governments as well as other countries have stated that the UK could stay on the old terms if Brexit was reversed.

    UK could cancel Brexit and stay in EU on same terms, says French government | The Independent,

    It goes without saying that this would be a prerequisite to have Remain on the ballot paper, it would also be clear to EU members that any deviation from this would lead to a BRINO or no deal.

    But it's not going to happen, there's no majority forr either May's deal or a hard Brexit.
    The politicians will welch out and dump it on the people again.
