Judging by the looks of them, I wish they would leave the UK and go and live in the EU, if they like it so much.

[emmie]

that could lead to all sorts of problems, and who on earth would take her on so to speak..

[dannyk13]

Some who is not a closet remainer but would be good.

[emmie]

danny
like who David Davis or Boris??

[dannyk13]

Deffo not Boris.Maybe Rees-Mogg.

[emmie]

why not Boris, he is a Brexiteer after all.
But Rees Mogg would alienate a lot of voters i think.

[dannyk13]

Boris is too impetuous.often speaks without thinking first.

[Gromit]

Rees-Mogg as Prime Minister would be great...










...for the Labour Party.

[gulliver1]

Almost two and a half years,since the referendum and we are still members of the EU, and now thinking of extending the leaving date. Why do we need a second referendum , just keep extending the leaving date. HA HA HA.

[gulliver1]

Gromit , 10.10 Spot on.

[dannyk13]

Gulliver, as stated on a previous thread. 2021 refers to the transition period not leaving.

"It is incumbent on the current government to honour the pledge of its predecessor."

Actually, no it's not, and indeed one of the cornerstones of any democracy is that the government of today cannot be bound by the government of yesterday. This is why laws can always be repealed, or amended, or superseded; it is why new laws can be brought in, why treaties can be withdrawn from.

And it's why a second referendum is absolutely not undemocratic. How can it be? You've just asked the people again. The UK of 2016 has gone -- sometimes literally, given that over the last two years, some voters in 2016 have died, and others that couldn't vote then now can.

The real anti-democracy, then, is those that wish to pretend that the 2016 decision is absolutely final, and absolutely must be respected come what may. Nonsense.

[jim360]

Had the situation been reversed, meanwhile, supporters of leaving the EU would have always been free to continue campaigning for what they believed in... and, who knows, some day they might even have found themselves in a position to implement their decision. But protests, and campaigns, and debates, would have never ceased. Quite right too.

More well thought out comments from remainers.

You can grow veg on mars...Was that a Bowie song?

[Jackdaw33]

That is the most pathetic argument I have ever seen. Some who voted in 2016 may have died and those too young at the time can now vote. To what depths will some people sink?

[-Talbot-]

6 foot?

[jim360]

Well I'm sorry that was the only feature you picked up on. It's a crude but nevertheless accurate point: we are not the same country now as we were two years ago, and we are therefore free to arrive at a different decision.

Bizarre.

[jim360]

There's nothing bizarre about it -- it's a statement of fact, and it's a cornerstone of democracy. You only find it bizarre because, right now, it suits you to ignore this.
