Default Re: Quote of the day (sorry, Brexit related)

The pretext for a second "peoples" vote (I have no idea if the electorate will be included) is that opinions have changed. As the last vote was leave the proposers can only believe that the people (as opposed to the electorate?) now wish to remain. Before the last vote, everybody thought that remain would win, Cameron hadn't even thought about what to do in the event of leave and had made no preparations for it. They were wrong, what on earth makes them think they are right now?.
If each time the "people" change their collective minds are we going to have another vote or should we just have one every 2/3 years after all we have general elections every 4 years.
Why don't we have a referendum for every budget or any other big change.
It's as stupid as deciding to rerun the 1974 general election now because labour got more seats with less votes then. You cannot turn back the clock, the damage to our relationship with Germany and France is done and as they effectively run the EU we will basically be told to sit quietly in the corner and keep buying our cars. Anyone who believes UK companies will ever get work from EU projects again must be daft.

It must be making things difficult for the SNP who did see leave coming and instructed their supporters to vote stay. If they think the "people's" vote will be stay do they then vote leave in order to be at odds with the UK and get indy ref 2
