utter crap - they haven't decided to stay - all they decided overnight was to reject a no deal exit

As to the majority of people voting to leave -- that's not really true -- what is true is that OF THOSE WHO VOTED - a slim majority voted to leave.

Whilst I am very strong on that should be respected --- it's very clear that this is a much bigger deal than many thought when they voted -

many who voted seem to have learned a lot more information now since that vote and have probably changed their mind.

Many of those who were slack and didn't vote - probably now strongly regret not voting.

It seems to me that when a decision of this magnitude comes to referendum - in a non compulsory voting nation - that perhaps the method of getting enough votes to make a decision should not be just a simple majority

philosophically, I think that idea sucks - but, in reality - now - a new referendum - even without lobbying from vested interests would more than likely result in a 'remain' vote - and, by a much bigger margin than the initial referendum.

I have no idea how this would all work - but, at this stage - it sure is a godawful mess that should be looked at so that they never have this issue again.

Ahh the Lefty way, when we lose lets have the best of three........that's fair ???

The British People want a a No deal hard Brexit. Why should Britain be dissolved into a Union of people that hate them, and have nothing in common with. Germany and Britain are the only countries with sound internal economies and Brussels want that money to fund the rest of the mendicant states and bleed them dry, drag them down to the lowest common denominator with NO sovereignty.
