To be fair, a second referendum wouldn't sort it if the answer was to leave again. It would just mean another referendum, another general election, ad infinitum.Lancasterclaret wrote:End of the day, this needs sorting one way or the other
- GE doesn't sort it, and both Lab and Cons will quite rightly fear one!
- 2nd ref does, but we'll have furious people whichever way it goes.
From my point of view, I'd rather put up with furious people and a functioning economy than furious people, a struggling economy and loads of furious people who realise that leaving the EU doesn't magically make stuff better. Oh, the country I love is much more likely to stay together as well.
Anyway, they can't have a second referendum until they have decided what question to put. And the favourite option appears to be to make sure that "Leave" as proposed by the Brexit Party doesn'tr appear on the list, for fear that people might vote for it.
