Rees-Mogg - "We could have 2 referendums. As it happens, it might make more sense to have the second referendum after the negotiation is completed." Pains me to say it but he could be right, you know!
If remain had won 52 to 48, because we were already in the EU, the result would have been implemented immediately. That's democracy.
In a democracy, Nigel Farage would have been quite within his rights , to continue to campaign to leave the EU.
The 2016 referendum has to be implemented, that's democracy. And the europhiles will be quite within their rights to campaign to join the EU, once we've left. That's democracy.
However, anti Democrats like Jo Swinson, have brazenly admitted that if there was a 2nd Peoples Vote, and Leave won a
2nd time. She would still not accept the result!!
And, Mick, why should I, as a leave voter have to have won TWO referenda , for my view to be implemented. Whereas a Remain voter would only have to have won ONE referendum to have their view implemented. ?
How is that democratic or fair?
