The nation voted leave what part of that is unclear? You are proposing to have same referendum again just like Ireland and several other countries who's politicians didn't accept the democratic will of the people they had several referendums until they got the result they wanted! Your advocating the same. Another referendum should only have questions on leaving as then democracy would have prevailed .

Standard Remainer logic 'We don't agree with the democratic vote, let's do it again until we do"
The only question left on the table is "Deal or No Deal?"

Oh so I don't know but you magically do know exactly what kind of Brexit 17 million people want?
Ok in that case I ask how many leave voters wanted a Norway / Switzerland type deal?
How many wanted something like May's deal?
How many want no deal at all?

It means no longer being a member of the EU.
It says nothing about the single market, the customs union, freedom of movement, the NI border, EU citizens rights in the UK, UK citizens rights in the EU, trade between the UK and the EU, flights between the UK and the EU, the ability of British airlines to operate internal EU flights, Euratom, etc etc etc. All of those things have to be decided somehow, the decisions made will impact our future relationship with the EU and member countries, even among leaver voters there are different opinions of what we should do for many of those things, and they all have to be decided before we leave the EU in 2 months time.pembroke allan wrote:That's what I thought leave means leave in what form didn't matter
Well except it does matter. For businesses, for people who want to travel abroad, for supply lines to supermarkets and shops, for foreign tourists who want to visit in the UK, for EU citizens who already live in the UK, for UK citizens who live in the EU etc etc.
If it doesn't matter to you then how about we leave the EU but stay in the customs union, the single market, continue with freedom of movement etc etc? Or would you not be happy with that? In which case that is exactly why these things need to be discussed and decided upon. If you are happy for MP's to make those decisions for you then fine, but I am not. I believe the British people should have a voice in those things.

1 - Referendums are very different to general elections.
2 - Yes, many people would have voted for one "side" for many different reasons. That is exactly the problem! Anyone trying to implement Brexit has literally no idea what the people who voted leave really want. Do they want to leave with no deal, do they want a close relationship like Norway / Switzerland?
3 - The answer to 2 is what a new vote would give us. I am not saying we put every bit of policy to the public. But surely we should be able to give the general direction you want? If you are worried about any "leave" vote getting diluted then use a numbered preference system where voters can put in order their preferred situations. That would give you a much better feeling for what the country actually wants.

What did the people who voted 'Remain' want as a unit, then?
They voted that way for many reasons too, but you're suggesting only Remainers had a clear view of the future when it's clear that wasn't the case; hence (for starters) David Cameron's attempt to change our relationship in 2015 which showed the UK Government wasn't 'happy' with things
For me, after what the EU has done to us in negotiations the real 'Brits' are the ones who have the courage to 'give it a go' rather than watch this (and other) countries identities be ebbed away by a not so subtle EU machine that cares not for you but for itself!
NO to a new vote and YES to carrying out the will of the majority in the way Cameron said would happen!

The UK as a whole? We do pay more in than we get back directly. But that ignores the benefits of being in the EU. As for a cash cow? Hardly.
And when you look at Wales specifically? Wales gets back more than what we pay. Sure Westminster could use the money it will have to help us out instead of the EU doing so, but is anyone here naive enough to think Wales will actually see any of that money?snoopystorm wrote:The deal offered benefits them a lot more than it benefits the UK

How would it not be leave? We would no longer be members of the EU. Hence we would have left.
Half remained would be a deal like Norway / Switzerland - a much closer relationship to the EU than May's deal.
So again, for god knows what number time, I ask what was wrong with May's deal that you don't like?

Errr what?
The deal means nothing of the sort.
It means we would pay the amount we are committed to pay for the next couple of years, yes. But we already committed to paying that. We can't all of a sudden say we aren't. Contracts don't work like that. Regardless it certainly doesn't mean what you are claiming.

Because when I voted leave I wanted out no deal no nothing just leave like was promised. Now the deal is half in half out it’s not leave not even close.
To answer your question everything is wrong with it.
