hmmmmm --------- on the surface - yes, I think it is obvious - but, I have a real issue with that

My issue is that they already asked the public and the vote was to leave --

ok - that's fine ----------- but, if they now have another vote - because it seems that perhaps and probably that most people would want to stay -- for whatever reason - either they are now not apathetic or that they are better or more informed - whatever -

to me - what the problem is - is that it sets a precedent which basically says that the losing side in a referendum - don't have to take a loss as an answer - and, can fight on - keep chewing away - by fair means or foul (and, there's probably a lot of foul in this one) - then, if and when they manage to convince enough people that it's all too hard ---------- then, they call for another vote

to me --------that's bloody dangerous and, there's something very very wrong about it

my personal thoughts don't come into the philosophy of it - because I think Britain should have stayed - but, that's not important in my thoughts on the process

Hey ‘hoo

I was essentially taking the “peas” lol.

They live by the sword ... how does that saying end?

Westminster democracy seems to either be flawed, or the ultimate cause of its own demise ... global politics is morphing imo.
