If there was a second referendum should there then be a third

[Grassgreendashhabi]

I keep seeing people asking for a second referendum

Now if a second referendum was held and remain won by less than 60% should that then cause a third referendum? Or do remain think that leavers will bow down and go with it??

Genuine question

Yes, I agree BigChoc but it's more than an 'opinion poll' it's an actual national vote, and that is why it gives the mandate to act.

After all, if it had been 'remain' and you were told 'Tough, the lower-polling side think that's wrong, so the Government is going to take UK out anyhow' would you think that was OK?

The main reason for the "leave" vote was democracy/sovereignty"

No, it was immigration, according to Arron Banks (who bankrolled leave.eu with his own £5.6 million):

That may have been Arron Banks' priority, but a YouGov poll gives a different picture:

If the government had won a mandate on Leave, but an advisory regerendum narrowly said Remain, the government would have been constitutionally entitled to Brexit.
Referenda are not part of the UK constitution or tradition.

I voted aged 18 in the first EU - then EEC - referendum and I felt really cross that the elected PM Harold Wilson was asking me to decide the future of the entire country. I worried about my vote for months afterwards.
It was his bloody job to decide if the renegotiation - yes we had one then too iirc - was good enough.

It was Arron Banks polls and they drove his winning strategy. He said people didn't like to talk about motivations, but he dealt in grubby reality. A grubby man, but a very successful one.

If immigration wasn't so important, then politicians & business wouldn't be in headless chicken mode about Brexit - we'd just go for EEA (European Economic Area) which would allow Free Trade and enable Financial Passporting for the City of London without much trouble.
BUT the EEA mandates Free Movement, i.e. almost no change to EU immigration. That's thought politically impossible, because of the strength of UK feeling against immigration.
