The one last week was the second referendum, if and when we hold another it will be third

The rules about a referendum is that they are only valid at that point in time and at the question asked, hence the considered _iew of the British public in 1975 can be overruled now and any referendum at any point in the future would overule this one

No it hasn't. Some jump ties have started a petition. It will not happen.

One of the problems with EU is lack of democracy. Eire and Netherlands both had referenda on treaty.....voted no! EU told them...that's the wrong answer, please do it again!

We voted. We chose. Live with it. As for those who didn't vite....they chose to do so. They chose to give up any right to comment!

That's democracy!

Thoroughly agreed. As I said in a VERY similar thread earlier... This is democracy. We state our preference by way of vote & the majority wins. Democracy is what makes us rational.

Listen up: I don't care if people didn't understand, put the X in the wrong box or were just pissed at the time. What is done is done. And whatever faults you lay at the 'Leave' side I bet they are just the same as on the 'Remain side'.

Absolutely right, those that didn't vote exercised their democratic right not to, to overturn an electoral decision on that basis would destroy our constitution.

The result does mean that Scotland faces another referendum. First one didn't go the way Alex Salmond wanted and he resigned.

You are there. I am here.

I am not ashamed to admit this. The 2 main reasons why I voted to "leave" was because of the infestation of immigrants coming into the, United. Kingdom.

Which frankly is getting out of hand and secondly because of my patronism of the country I love.

Which is the, United. Kingdom. not Europe. or the (EU).

"The point some are making is that only 40% of the eligible electorate actually voted to leave the EU is that democratic enough for such a monumental decision. It's a valid question in a democracy. "

Personally I'd say no, not really, which is why I have a bit of sympathy for those calling for a rerun. However a bit of sympathy is not the same as support. In some previous referenda there has been a requirement that for change a simple majority is not sufficient and a minimum number of the electorate (normally around 45%) was also required. If those had been the rules for this referendum I would have supported them. But they weren't and we can't change the goal posts now after the result. The battle has been fought and lost. However much we may dislike and regret it Britain's future is now outside the EU, we have to accept that, but we can still fight for an open, inclusive, tolerant Britain outside the EU. After all some who voted Leave believe that is what they were voting for to. There not all 'little Englanders', xenophobes and racists.

I don't believe there will be a second referendum on this issue and I don't believe there should be either. That being said, I also don't believe we should have had this referendum. I believe that referendum seldom actually solve an issue one way or another.

However when we do have them I always vote for what I believe to the right and best thing. So, if there was a second referendum, I would still vote to remain as I still believe that Britain would be better of in the EU than it will be outside of the EU.

First paragraph agree, second disagree.

Bottom line is that there are some values that if you don't subscribe to them you need to get the f out of Britain. One of them is respect for democracy. I'd rather keep our values than sell out just to get my own way.

Actually the main advantage of living in a democracy is that you don't have to accept anything, just to agree to abide by the law of the land. If another referendum was called, even if I didn't agree with it being called - as I did not agree to this one being called either, I would still exercise my democratic right under law to vote for what I believed to be right and best.

What a farce, what morons vote and think that others will bail them out from their decision.

We voted out, end of story, if we have another referendum it'll just make a mockery of the whole process and show that the voting population of Britain are idiots.

We are out end of, perhaps people in future will value their votes more and actually get clued up on the election/campaign before wasting it.

When both sides come out with all the BS they have done and lied and twisted statistics to support their _iewpoint then i dont think the electorate are to blame. Both sides should be ashamed of the way they have behaved and i am not surprised that by some voters being confused. But i agree we need to move on

"The point some are making is that only 40% of the eligible electorate actually voted to leave the EU is that democratic enough for such a monumental decision. It's a valid question in a democracy. "

They didn't moan when the tories were voted in with less.

I voted remain, in/out it doesn't make much difference to me in the grand scheme of things. I truly hope those that voted out get the utopian world they were promised.

I think the saddest/funniest thing I've read is the people of Cornwall voted out even though as one of the poorest areas in the country and ignored by Westminster received over £10bn from the EU over the last decade. They qualify for £60m from the EU annually.

How stupid then must you be to then say can we still have the £60m then start crying when told voting out means you no longer qualify.

Both sides set out their campaign in plain English. The people voted based on their own fears/aspirations etc. Brits abroad too lazy to vote crying now their European dream retirement not so rosy, those voting out "for a laugh" should get over themselves.

We all have to make it work and that's the challenge.

The fact is EU stand to lose much more than we do by us leaving. Our GDP will drop by 1% (but stand to gain 10% growth by being able to trade freely in markets previously denied to us by EU barriers) from leaving the EU which hasn't shown any growth in 10 years.

I never seen any lies from the remain campaign on the level of the leave..... Don't forget the 2 key men in the campaign, Johnson and Farage... History of lying. They kept harping on about putting money into the NHS, yet both of them have heavily campaigned to privatise it. As for GDP, that's speculation as leading economists have said the opposite.

Well life is good in London and the power is there and all the money so why change when you are feeling good. And don't forget they just elected a full on Leftie who supported Remain. London was always going to vote Remain. In fact they didn't by as much as the 'experts' predicted.

As for Scotland well they are still in SNP La La Land where everything good comes from Holyrood and everything bad comes from Westminster. But as soon as the Scots themselves have to start paying the £15 Bn a year us English (that they revile so much) have been paying out for them the SNP bubble will burst. As of last month the SNP will have to balance the books and do so by taxes on the Scots people. what I think is utterly shameful is the speed at which Sturgeon sought to cause mischief and even more uncertainty, acted way above her authority and immediately raised the independence smokescreen to hide her failures in Government. And now she is threatening to block the democratic will of the people of the UK by refusing to pass the required legislation. She won't need a referendum we will kick them out. enough is enough.

And are we really surprised that the Republicans (like the SNP) are using this uncertainty for their stated aims of a united Ireland? Given the cash we put into Ulster I don't think the Irish will want to take it back.

Worth pointing out that the particular petition for a second referendum that has gained so many votes was started a month before the result came in

By a leave campaigner

He said if the the turnout was less than 75% and the winning side got less than 60% of the vote it should trigger a second vote.

He was probably parroting Nigel Fiasc....Fascis.... Farrage who made it clear that a 48-52 vote would be - in his words - "unfinished business"

Actually that's statistically incorrect. The EU has grown every year for the last 10 years. That growth has been between 0.1% and 0.6%. Agreed not great growth but still growth, unlike what you stated which was that it hadn't grown for 10 years.

It's not a question whether the republic of Ireland want the North back to us again or not but a lot of the people living in the North don't want to be back with the Irish republic, they want to be part of the UK, to be part of English rule.....

...... so it's not a question of us just taking the North back, it's not as easy as that unfortunately....

..... while the North voted to stay in the EU, they are still part of the UK & as the majority of the UK voted to leave they too will unfortunately have to leave the EU too.....

I had to endure 13 years of a Labour Government I never voted for. Indeed the whole of my region never voted for. Should we have had a rerun of those elections?

Suck it up Sweetcheeks and grow a pair. Its done. Move on. Nothing to see.Yes I do like the eu and we will be moving in few years, you do know the leave don't got a plan for the uk? Come back in a years time and see if you think the same when uk is begin to come back and is on its knees, in the mean time we have to live with the consequences."
It is highly unlikely that the UK will be on its knees . Many businneses will be unaffected. Leaving will also helo businnesses .

"One thing is not exercising your right to vote.

Very different from all the FOREIGNERS in the UK working, paying taxes, having families who had NO RIGHT to contribute to such important decision.

Was that their choice? Those are probably most of the votes you will find amongst the 2.6 million signatures in this new petition!!

Nope were British citizens and on petition ..would like to see one when an out deal has been agreed so we can actually vote on what we are getting and not bullshit and lies .."

This is my current issue, there is obviously no sodding contingency plan

Please forgive my being blunt but your recent posts have been rather inane and ignorant. You seem to be trawling the t'internet for every morsel of news that proves you were right.

17.3 million people have voted in a majority for the UK to leave the EU. Thats it. Finish. There is nothing more to add... But I note you are leaving the UK soon anyway ... happy travels.

Having a second referendum is bonkers , however the petition was originally set up by a member of the leave side before the referendum, also Farage is on record as saying if the vote to remain is close , he would push for another referendum. Both sides are wankers tbh

" now this post above does make you laugh

but to be fair, life can be good in London even although you may have to pay well over a £million for a 2 bedroom flat lol

In Scotland half a million can get you a lovely five bedroom, 5 reception new villa with an acre of land and excellent _iews.

With so much hatred you obviously have for the Scots and the way you say you will "kick us out" sure indicates you have a huge "chip on your shoulder"

I don't think you really mean life is great, as you are obviously upset about the Scots

learn to chill and enjoy life, be nice, be kind, in fact why not come up and visit Scotland, see what you are missing "

Do please read my words again as I suspect you didn't quite understand my point. Did I criticise the Scottish people or Scotland? No I didn't. My beef is with that woman who is First Minister and her making mischief with everything at this critical time. In fact I inferred some sympathy for the Scots for when her policies start to hit their wallets. Or Sporrans or wherever.

Her hypocrisy is staggering. On the one hand she says the Scots voted to Remain (forgetting the 1 Million who actually voted to Leave) and that means the majority rules and yet on the other she ignores the 17.3 Million who gave a UK majority to leave. One majority rules in Scotland but not in the UK. Unbelievable.

What she is REALLY engaged in is Project Smokescreen as she knows she cannot rely on us English to fund her deficits any more now she has full fiscal powers and has to balance the books. That £15 Bn is worth some £3,000 for every man, woman and child in Scotland. That is going to hurt the poor and the weak first.

I know Scotland is a great place more than you know and that is also why I am annoyed, angry even, at her antics. I respect the fact that the SNP are the elected Government. I respected their right to have a referendum which they held. What is totally wrong is to peddle the lie that the poor Scots never knew there was a possibility of the UK leaving the EU when they HAD that referendum. Or that they were assured a vote to stay in the UK was a guarantee of remaining in the EU. A total barefaced pack of lies by this woman. The Scots knew for 18 months before their referendum in Sept. 2014 there would be an EU referendum if the Tories won in May 2015.

And now she is getting way above her office by engaging directly with EU officials. Foreign Policy of the UK is handled by Westminster. It is not a devolved power.

And to cap it all she is threatening to block the passage of any Brexit legislation. Again showing her ignorance (or ability to lie) as the Scottish Parliament does not have that power. Personally if she carries on like this I think someone should tell her that we could repeal the Act of Union and set the Scots free...
