Banangio, your comment in response to mine, as follows:-
'‘Just have another referendum until you have the right answer.
The EU responded to the Italian populist vote with the same words more or less.' (my comment)
No they didn’t - the results of the general election stand and we have a government in Italy' (your reply)
is not relevant.
My point was only to do with the fact that the British public is heartily sick of being told what to do by duplicitous, monolithic, authoritarian governments handing down fiats from on high and, therefore, voted Brexit to remove a layer of bureaucratic control.
Furthermore, the European Budget Commissioner Günther Oettinger did apologize last Tuesday for suggesting that financial markets would show Italians how to vote.
Oettinger told broadcaster Deutsche Welle i that the reaction of financial markets would give Italian voters a signal not to vote for populists.
Oettinger said,
“My concern and expectation is that the coming weeks will show that the development of the markets, government bonds and the economy of Italy will be so far-reaching that this will be a possible signal to voters not to vote for populists on the right or left.”
Given the amount of outrageous arrogance the EU has shown towards the UK during the Brexit negotiations I would not be at all surprised if any second referendum produced an even bigger majority to leave. In fact, several polls have indicated that this would , indeed, be the case.
