RE:xit?
-
If a second referendum is good or bad... daresay that has been discussed enough already. Now I am just wondering: if there is a second national vote with a new result... What should that be called? unbrexit? Brire-enter? Re-xit? :confused:

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

We have already had a second referendum - I want to know why the democratic decision of the people who voted in the first was not respected[^].

The vote was not legally binding, to start with. Except those that are already dead, everyone could cast their vote anew. What people voted in the previous millenium is not directly translatable to "now"; it does not mean that those people's opinion is set in stone, or that they are inable to learn. :thumbsup:

No UK referendum is legally binding. The Prime Minister may have said that he would accept the result, but that is not the same thing. People are learning how much they were lied to by the Leave campaign and what a shit-storm the whole thing is likely to unleash. How long must elapse before they can vote again?

Democracy is when we play elections and referendums. The EU is unelected buerocrats and we will get our 340 mil weekly for the NHS. I bet they will discuss new elections and referendums on March 18th next year.

There was no leave campaign in the 70s, and the lies during the last referendum were mostly from the remain-camp. I'd like to point out that the world was supposed to end. What people haven't learned is that they do not live in a democracy.

As the wiki states, there was yes and no; not a "leave". And there was the official standpoint of course, as described in the same page. It seems that any opinion that does not favor globalism is officially "wrong".

Before you decide how to call it, read this: [Hard Brexiters’ new plan gets A+ for idiocy | John Crace | Politics | The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/sep/24/hard-brexiters-new-plan-gets-a-for-idiocy) They obviously try to outsource Brexit too! Pretty sure the results will be as per usual :)

What Does Boris Johnson Owe?[^] :-D Now we sit back and wait for the same people who declare the dire predictions of the consequences of leaving to be "lies" because they haven't come true yet to simultaneously declare that Boris owes nothing because we haven't left yet. :laugh:

Depending on who you ask, either "common sense", or "a betrayal of democracy". Because, as you know, the people voted democratically to leave, so they're not allowed to change their minds until we've actually left. :doh: But whichever side you're on, I'm sure we can agree that our government have demonstrated that they couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery that was already having a piss-up, and when you walked through the door, the receptionist asked, "Would you like a free piss-up?" Oh, and you wanted a punny answer. How about "Abouty McAboutFace". :-D

Semantics - The question asked was "Do you think that the United Kingdom should stay in the European Community (the Common Market)?", so a yes vote was a Remain vote, and a no vote was a Leave vote. It could have been true/false or pink/blue. It was a binary choice. The official standpoint in the most recent referendum was also that they wished to remain, so the results and votes are directly comparable.

Because 1) we were lied to 2) the young - the people most affected - were not allowed to vote 3) the options were not given, let alone explained

And this is different from the most recent referendum in which way?
