To ask if you would support a second referendum and what would you vote?

[questabellatreetop]

As the title says really, along with whether or not your vote would be different from last time.

myimaginarycat did you vote remain the first time by any chance? I did but you'll notice I'm not necessarily anticipating a significant change in the voting. I accept the will of the people, but I'd like to be confident that leaving is what they want. A second referendum would confirm that.

FWIW, I think that no Brexit by default is not a good outcome.

My postal vote didn’t arrive so I couldn’t vote last time.

This time I would be able to vote and would be voting remain. (As I would have first time around)

Democracy, what is that?? Seems you can keep changing the rules to get the answer you want in this country.

Does it scarlett

What rules have been changed?

Not RTFT but personally it was such a close call before it should have been redone.

Secondly, the press mixed up a shit storm and people believe their bullshit

Press should be told to keep out, they should only give airtime to specialist /experts with differing views to actually let people know the facts, not bullshit to get votes swayed

So yes, another vote imo

In the run-up to the June referendum Nigel Farage said "In a 52-48 referendum [in favour of remaining] this would be unfinished business by a long way." In those circumstances he said he would be pushing for a re-run of the referendum. Have people forgotten this?

Trying2bemum don't use the word we when you mean I. I knew what I was voting for. You might not have done.

No one knew the deal to leave because there wasn't one

Yes. 100% remain.

Democracy, what is that?? Seems you can keep changing the rules to get the answer you want in this country.

What, like changing the rules so that an advisory vote (AKA an opinion poll) somehow becomes an irrevocable mandate?

Mostly people who comment on these threads are the remainers who support a second referendum, so it's not really a true reflection of how the general public feel.

Brexit aside I am really worried about the long term implications of having a second referendum.

Do people really think voters will have confidence that their vote will be listened to and used to guide government? To those saying lies were told last time, correct. Lies will be told this time because no one knows what the UK leaving the EU really means.

I expect it would create a generation of apathetic voters who won't be arsed and have no trust in politicians. I find that devastating that people won't care about important matters.

Short term I expect there could be a lot of civil unrest and anger all around.

Part of me thinks the whole two years have been a shit show to lead us to a second referendum where Govt will get the result it wanted first time.

If it becomes 1-1, would you support a third referendum?

Would still vote remain but, morally it feels wrong to have another referendum

What is the point of having another go with the same question? If we vote leave again will we have another two years pissing around?

Remain and would vote remain again. Absolutely yes to another referendum but would prefer revoking a50.
I don't really understand the comments re another referendum being undemocratic - we have devoted three years looking for a way to leave, no-one can say that the leave vote was ignored. There is simply no way for us to leave without being worse off than we are now.
How is it undemocratic to hold another vote, if leave are convinced it is the right thing to do, then what is to fear?

I feel precisely the same as Spiderbanana.
Imagine if Scotland had voted to leave the U.K. in their referendum and, after a few years of arsing about, we said, ‘Sorry, it’s too difficult for us to sort out. You’ll have to stay.’

I desperately want Parliament to revoke but I’m alive to the damage it will cause.

Yes, remain again

we have devoted three years looking for a way to leave, no-one can say that the leave vote was ignored

That would depend on how hard they tried surely?

we have devoted three years looking for a way to leave, no-one can say that the leave vote was ignored
Bollocks - yes the Leave Vote is being ignored. We should have left by now.

I don’t think there should be a second referendum. It was one vote and sadly it went the wrong way.

I do think David Cameron should be dragged out of whatever wormhole he’s occupying and made to do something productive about the shitshow he helped to create

we have devoted three years looking for a way to leave, no-one can say that the leave vote was ignored

and three years have also been spent trying every which way to overturn it. Not a great use of time when you are on a tight timescale.

How is another referendum undemocratic, if making parliament vote THREE times on the same thing (until you get the result you want) is ok?

Apparently it's not ok for the general public to change their mind over the course of YEARS, yet we have to respect our MPs changing their minds week by week? The whole thing is just so beyond ridiculous I can't handle it.

I guess yes to another referendum in the hope Brexit is reversed, but ideally just a huge apology for the entire thing please. It has plunged the country I loved into a quagmire of aggression and discontent.

What exactly has been done for 3 years in an attempt to overturn it bar calling out lies told and expressing justworthy concerns? If neither of these are allowed we don’t live in a democracy.

No. What a waste of money.

And many leavers are doing the hindering with leave. Bickering over what type of leave they voted for.

And yy to holding Dave and Boris to account. Why are they just being left to slink off and make more money. I think TM is trying to bully her way and her priorities for her party ahead of what is best for the country but at least she has a spine.
