It was very premature. There should have been at least 3 years investigations as to the ramifications and what likely deals we could strike on the different negotiation items before the vote. Then I feel people would have been better informed. As it happens people voted with very little information (from both sides) which of course opened the door to emotional media manipulation.
Also, even if Brexit is, in the long term, right for the country, we have completely incompetent people trying to strike deals which they are not equipped or skilled to do. Eventually the EU will tell us to just f**k off and make decisions for us.
The conservatives and Labour are completely incompetent.
Let's be frank, it's a clusterfuck.
These ramifications are all a load of nonsense anyway because nobody can predict these sorts of things, seeing it now with "this is how much worse off we will be in certain scenarios" but it has too many factors attached to it to be believable.
for me the core principle should be, should we be a country who stands on our own but still deals with europe, or should we be involved in a united europe where collective decisions are made for everyone. and then we can just go from there
There should have been more due diligence. For example, discussions with NI and ROI about the border should have taken place, now it seems surprising that its a contentious issue, made worse by the Tories bribing the DUP to join a coalition. Like I said, clusterfuck.
But yeah I agree with your last point.
Good response and for me it would be a collective Europe every time. With loons like Trump and menaces like Putin around this is no time to ditch our friends. I work on the united we stand principle.
We are leaving the eu not nato or europe ffs you speak some tosh
Ah you're right but it's the EU that's key to peace, not relying on that thick piece of shit Trump. NATO with him involved is dead in the water.
Yes the EU kept everyone safe in the Balkans.
Why should the Yanks subsidise everyone else inNATO, the agreement was for members to spend 2% of GDP on defence, the majority have failed to do this.
The EU was formed to restrain Germany you utter tool not the Balkans and NATO really kept the lid on it didn't it. The Yanks can afford to pay more than anyone else and a secure Europe is in their national interest. If they don't like it they can go and bomb the f**k out of North Korea if they like
Can’t win the argument play the man not the ball.
The EU/Common Market was formed solely to stop the Krauts invading neighbouring countries Bwhahahahaha.
So the Yanks and ourselves incidentally, should subsidise Germany’s defence?? Your simply a crank.

a lot more than you im sure
Why, are you out of work?
i wish
so what are the ramifications?
Damn, this must be a long list.....
Well I'm not sure if you've been able to engage with the political debate over the last 20 years but I'm sure if someone could help you out and point you in the right direction then you might find your answer there but I'm sorry I haven't got time to help you out. Oh, and you're damned right, it's a mighty long list
these ramifications are the cornerstone of the remain / 2nd election people though...
yet time and time again its rants about Boris, union jacks, the end of the tory party and vague threats about financial meltdown.. ...and no real answer...
truth be told if any of these ramifications could be proved there would be overwhelming demands from the public and our government for a rethink 2nd vote...there is not.
nobody knows, wild guesses counter guesses ..predictions and counter predictions, promises and counter promises..people took sides ..voted..and the losers havent accepted it..
This is the typical Leaver stance....not so much head in the sand but stubbornness. You've actually just confirmed my pitch because all recent opinion polls show the trend for a growing number of people wanting a third vote. This is such a monumental economic and political project for the country which could lead to catastrophic consequences it certainly shouldn't have been left to a simple majority vote to decide. But I guess you won so what the hell do you care. To the victor the spoils and the devil take the hindmost.

When there is a critical mass of opinion that wants another vote there will be one. It's how politics work. I didn't want a second vote anyway so it's nothing to do with the result. To be honest, if the second vote was a Remain victory I would still want a third vote to confirm it and seal the thing. In any case it's out of our hands, it will be the younger generation who will kick this into touch

If Leavers were so convinced it would return the same result you'd think they would be happy because it would seal the issue in their favour for a generation.

There is no evidence whatsoever that there has been a huge shift of opinion since the referendum no matter how much you would like to 'argue' to the contrary. Polls I have seen roughly have the same split 52-48.
However, there is a great shift in those who voted to remain who now just want the Government to get on with the job and get the UK out of the EU, in other words they have democratically accepted the 2016 result.

Apologies people, what im trying to say is that a high percentage and not all of the leave vote didn't understand what they were voting for. However, there was obviusly a lot who new their subject matter. Being the vote was so close and it broke electoral law a peoples vote on the final deal is needed.

A Survation poll yesterday showed a Remain majority by 5 points and roughly a 10% majority for a third vote. Of course it's early days anyway, were walking on shifting sands. Wait till the prospect of a no deal. People are entitled to change their minds on such a big issue you know. Anyway, my question remains ...why are Leavers so afraid of another vote?

1 was enough, why 2? And if 2 why not many?
exactly...keep going until youi get the result you want...happened here over the assembly and i expect it to happen in Scotland regarding independence...your either serious about democracy or not ,a vote should mean something..not this democracy bingo that some people want these days.

Steve it is a case of we are right your wrong so we must have a vote until we win that will then prove that we were right all along?
No nothing to do with that Allan. If that were the case why did we have a second referendum in 2016 to reverse the first one?
Simple fact is 1st one was to join common market it is now not the common market but a union state in all but name and undemocraticaly elected people running it ? the 2nd vote was to leave this entity and the people didnt want to stay did they? Now you and your like want another vote because you didn't like result of 1st vote?
When there is a critical mass of opinion that wants another vote there will be one. It's how politics work. I didn't want a second vote anyway so it's nothing to do with the result. To be honest, if the second vote was a Remain victory I would still want a third vote to confirm it and seal the thing. In any case it's out of our hands, it will be the younger generation who will kick this into touch

The flaw in that thinking is the younger generation will grow older and change their views accordingly.
That's an interesting proposition Tony but I don't think it'll work that way. Younger people are more internationalist than previous generations and more pragmatic. But of course who can say for certain?
This generation is more pragmatic? fekkme that’s your best yet.
Anyone showing pragmatism is branded a racist xenophobe by the loony left.
And where did you read that, Noddy and Big Ears Politics Annual written by Nigel Farage (aged 3 and a half)?
Rather than throw childish insults perhaps you can demonstrate how this generation is more pragmatic than previous ones.
