I could throw that right back at you and ask why are remain voters so afraid of accepting a democratic vote?

I haven't seen the poll you refer to which if true is one in isolation, but if you took a poll of poll's since 2016 the ground swell is still roughly the same.

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?


No you can't say for certain what will happen to the younger generations outlook as they grow older. But on the evidence of previous generations their thinking will shift once they have their own jobs, housing, children and health issues begin to affect them and of course when they no longer have the security of their own Mum and Dad. :D

I think your second paragraph is way off the mark and just helps to console yourself. You must have missed several recent polls which indicate there is trend for support of another vote and also more of a Remain preference. But of course you are free to believe what you wish.

With regard to your first point I do not believe a simple majority referendum on such a major issue is valid. On such an important issue which will have crucial consequences and has ripped the country in two a supermajority was needed. Public opinion is shifting continually as more and more information comes to light. Why should anything be set in stone when it's likely to prove divisive? That would be really undemocratic

No I think in terms of this issue the opposite is true. More youngsters will be anxious about the effects on jobs, housing , health etc. and decide they are better sticking with the status quo rather than take a leap into the unknown. As more youngsters are not so concerned about race, religion, sovereignty etc.as older generations are that makes a huge difference.

There are often Polls after General Elections which show the sitting Government to be unpopular but that doesn't mean another General Election must be called :roll: so the same principle applies to referendum.

You seem to use the phrase 'I do/don't believe something' as a way of justification. Whilst you are entitled to your opinion your 'belief' does not override a democratic vote.

We all knew that the vote on 23rd June 2016 was a referendum for a generation (generally accepted as 25 years) on our membership of the European Union. We voted to leave. If an individual wanted information on the consequences then it was readily available including a pamphlet sent to every home by the Government @ a cost of £9m which explained leaving meant leaving the Customs Union and Single Market.

Whilst it is true not everything has to be set in stone, we also have to look the chaos of rerunning referendum every 5 minutes will cause because there will always be someone unhappy with the result.

The call has been made we have to live with it and it's consequences.

The flaw in that reply is the status quo by the time this younger generation grows older will be outside the EU :roll: So you have completely shot yourself in the foot :oops:

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? :laughing6:


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? :thumbup:

best out of three..?
will the 3rd one be on neutral ground..?


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.
if you keep having re votes people will stop going to pointlessly vote..democracy dies..


Ah you've missed the point again I see. We had a referendum in 1975 so what difference would having a third in post 2016 be to already having a second in 2016? The precedent has been set. Why should anything be set in stone? That's truly undemocratic. Anyway, of you bothered to read my posts carefully you'd notice I'm wholly against referendums anyway and I didn't want the second one. You'll be telling me we should stop having general elections next.



ughhh//what point..?
was answering Jocks end game remark about voting in general..
its you that should re read the thread mate ...youve lost about 46 nil { not against me, because im not making brexit points } but against anyone and everyone that can string 3 words together..

Not really for two reasons:

1. We haven't left yet
2. We can always vote to get back in if we did leave

Oh I get you a poll or two were wrong 2 years ago so I'm assuming now that will invalidate all future polls. In any case polls are only useful for indicating trends. As I've said previously the third referendum will happen for the same reason the other two did and that's for political expediency.

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)? :lol:

Rather than throw childish insults perhaps you can demonstrate how this generation is more pragmatic than previous ones.


You call that a childish insult? :lol: The younger generation are more pragmatic because they are not hidebound by stupid ideas of race, religion nationality, empire, sovereignty etc al. You may not accept it because that would make you feel uncomfortable but there it is. At the end of the day I've got no hope of persuading someone like you, your mind was made up long ago so if you want to ignore what's happening in the world to make you feel better that's fine by me

Until a couple of weeks before the referendum I was undecided how I was going to vote, mainly because I knew it would be a nightmare leaving such a beuqacratic behemoth.
Race: people’s race is not a factor for me in anything I do
Religion: I have no religion but don’t try and force my view on anyone else.
Nationality: proud to be British, we have given the World so much that is good.
Empire: seriously :lol:
Sovereignty: is important and one of the reasons I voted leave.
You seem to want to pigeonhole people who disagree with you and you’ve failed to show how this generation are more pragmatic than previous ones.

Was there calls for 2nd vote then no there wasn't, so why do you want a 2nd vote now?
we don't ask for 2nd vote if your party doesnt win general election so why have one for europe? Don't get you want another vote to confirm things what happens if that one goes against 2nd vote? Best of 5 !! :laughing6:

There's a certain irony in the fact that our trying to leave a wholly undemocratic unelected authoritarian state is being hampered by a wholly undemocratic move by an unelected leader showing authoritarian tendencies.

She's now relying on Labour to help her deliver this lame ass 'in name only Brexit' how long will that last you think?

She needs to go and fast - Mogg the kingmaker to let Boris finish what he was destined to do before Gove stabbed him in the back is our only chance to make this work now. Pull all deals off the table and offer up two options - a similar deal to Canada/Singapore or we walk and go WTO.

The EU is crumbling and we hold all the aces - christ I'd love to get into a game of poker with Theresa the Appeaser I'd walk away with the keys to Number 10!

I try to live my life under the assumption most mistakes in life are down to stupidity rather than malice but I'm really struggling to figure anyone could screw something up this much without really trying.

we don't ask for 2nd vote if your party doesnt win general election so why have one for europe? Don't get you want another vote to confirm things what happens if that one goes against 2nd vote? Best of 5 !! :laughing6:


I voted the first time around when we had the referendum to stay in The Common Market. I voted yes because the Common Market was completely different to what we have now. I certainly did not vote to hand over so much regulation to what was to become the EU. The remainers say those who voted leave do not know the consequences of their action, well those like me who voted in favour of the Common Market had no idea of what the future held by us voting yes. Had I known, my vote would have been one big no.

Two of the vice chairs of the Conservatives, Maria Caulfield and Ben Bradley, have resigned due to the Chequers agreement.

Even if there isn’t a no confidence vote, which she would probably win at the moment in my view, she has to change her Brexit plan.

If she sticks to it and wins a no confidence vote, then the Brexiteers will just vote down all of her proposals - making her job impossible.

The flaw in that reply is the status quo by the time this younger generation grows older will be outside the EU :roll: So you have completely shot yourself in the foot :oops:


Not really for two reasons:

1. We haven't left yet
2. We can always vote to get back in if we did leave

No gun so no bullets in my foot :thumbup:


Read this slowly so you can understand. We are leaving the EU in March 2019 so by the time the younger generation have grown up we would have been out for some considerable time :roll: :roll:

As for a vote to return is this another of your mythical beliefs which seems to be your backstop each time your arguments flounder?

If I was you I would check both your feet.

This is why polls are pointless. :laughing6:

Oh I get you a poll or two were wrong 2 years ago so I'm assuming now that will invalidate all future polls. In any case polls are only useful for indicating trends. As I've said previously the third referendum will happen for the same reason the other two did and that's for political expediency.


The pollsters also got both recent General Elections wrong. Mind you still plenty of Polls claiming different to you see this one.

1 Check your diary.....it's not March 2019 yet you dummy. We are not certain to leave.

2. Even if we do leave we may well decide to get back in. What's so difficult to understand about that?

The only card she still holds is the fear that bringing her down could force a General Election and a Labour Government.

However, I believe it will be Tory grassroots that will do for her. They will see this Chequers Agreement nonsense as total betrayal of the BREXIT dream and when the EU start demanding more concessions (including payments to access the Single Market) then there will be no hope for her.

I think another referendum would have the same result Tony. It would lead to the same claims by the remain campaign that we do not know what we have voted for, and every obstacle possible would be put in the way to delay or stop the process. In all probability, they would push for yet another vote as democracy does not seem to form part of their vocabulary.

And you don't believe the same of leavers. Ask Mr Farage his opinion, he was the first to suggest we should have another referendum

Today is the 10th July 2017. So young people will still be young tomorrow and the same in 10 months time. However, when they grow older by say a generation (25 years) we would have exited the EU along time ago and thus the status quo would be outside the EU. You made a fundamental mistake end of.

Also the referendum was for a generation normally measured at 25 years, although it was 41 years between the first two. What I find hard to understand is how you know there is going to another vote, you speak as if it is a certainty in the short term?

Or are we back to these dodgy Polls you rely on :lol: Seriously mate you are very poor debater

Waffle on all you want the above won't change.

She's now relying on Labour to help her deliver this lame ass 'in name only Brexit' how long will that last you think?

She needs to go and fast - Mogg the kingmaker to let Boris finish what he was destined to do before Gove stabbed him in the back is our only chance to make this work now. Pull all deals off the table and offer up two options - a similar deal to Canada/Singapore or we walk and go WTO.

The EU is crumbling and we hold all the aces - christ I'd love to get into a game of poker with Theresa the Appeaser I'd walk away with the keys to Number 10!

I try to live my life under the assumption most mistakes in life are down to stupidity rather than malice but I'm really struggling to figure anyone could screw something up this much without really trying.
:banghead:

Your usual pragmatic take on things. It really is as simple as you posted, the EU is a busted flush.

Anybody who thinks they voted for the status quo is deluded, the EU is evolving into a Federal State, they want to expand Shengan andthe Eurozone, theyve already appointed a Euro Chancellor, with powers to dictate fiscal policy to individual member states.
