If There Was Another Eu Referendum Would We Get The Same Result?

[dave50]

Hypothetical question I know but I suspect the vote would be to stay in the EU simply because people are tired of the hassle involved and sick of hearing about it on TV every day. Incidentally I would still vote to leave but I can see why a lot of people might have changed their minds. Any thoughts?

[emmie]

i wouldn't change my mine about leaving, nor would anyone i know. they would say leave regardless of the coming hassle.

[kvalidir]

I think we'd have a solid remain result, and I think that's why the the leavers are so terrified of the prospect of further consultation because they know that too.

[jim360]

I also think the vote would be for Remain, but at least partly due to apathy and lack of confidence among Leavers. Although there are solid reasons for a second vote, I could well believe that Leave supporters might just regard it as a cynical attempt to overturn the result from 2016 (which is anyway also probably true, to an extent), so why bother voting for a cause that will just be ignored?

[youngmafbog]

The problem is; if you have another vote and it goes to remain do you then have to have another one in a years time for best of three?

Too bloody right they would

I'd still vote to leave but think the vote would go the other way - partly because of the hash they're making of it. I'm still irritated that most remainers are of the age that think we lived in the dark ages before the Common Market took us in and that's where we'd return to..

I would still vote to leave..

I would vote differently if we held the referendum again. I voted to remain as I thought it made economic sense, but now I would definitely vote leave. Merkel's disastrous policy on mass immigration into Europe has woken many up to the fact that the EU and its leaders are actually facilitating the rise of Islam and its associated dangers.

Secondly, the EU have now really shown their true colours by their arrogance and contempt for the British people and the referendum result.

The Referendum and Brexit has reignited British pride and faith in our own nation, and shown the Brits still do have a backbone when it comes to not being easily pushed around by foreigners.

I now firmly believe that anything weakening the collosal and clunking bureaucracy that is the European Union is to be welcomed.

I would still vote 'Leave'.

[mikey4444]

Like Emmie, I wouldn't change my vote....it would still be to Remain.

But, as the original vote was so close, my best guess is that a new Ref,. would be to Remain, for the reasons given by Dave above.

[Quoi]

I would still vote leave and I would also press harder with the pencil when putting my 'x' in the box

[rowanwitch]

Both of us would still vote to leave, and the sooner the better

[cashier]

Still leave

[New Judge]

"Although there are solid reasons for a second vote,..."

Which are what, exactly, jim? What has changed, apart from the fact that those who didn't realise it now know what a bunch of intransigent bar stewards the Euromaniacs are.

[marval]

I would still vote leave

[maggiebee]

I would still vote "stay"

[EDDIE51]

I would still vote remain. My reasons have got even stronger and more certain since the referendum .

[jim360]

I don't think there are *compelling* reasons for a second vote, but I do think it's possible to justify it. Once we conclude the negotiations then you could argue that, now that we know what is on offer, the people can choose between two (known) futures.

In principle, at least. In practice I expect that (a) Parliament will make the call, but that (b) this is fine.
