Brexit

LibDems wanting a second referendum - Please explain the logic

The LibDems believe the UK should remain part of the EU. While they accept the outcome of the the June 2016 Referendum, they also want the final terms of our exit deal to go to a second Referendum in the hope that we say "OK let's Remain after all".

Can anyone explain the logic of this position at this stage of the negotiations? Surely this encourages the EU to make our exit terms the very worst they can make them, basically holding us to ransom until the second referendum would be deliver the capitulation they and the LibDems are hankering for.

"Just a little note, we wanted to say:
we're all wishing you the best, dear May!"

That's spooky, the impression of the way someone with a speech impediment talks. You're not a reincarnation of a poster who disappeared in mysterious circumstances are you?

OP's threads often take a similar turn, especially when their arguments - such as they are - dry up.

Go on, give us you Milliband impression!

The nation 'wishing her well' means nothing.

I think it means quite a lot.

Kaija · 11/05/2017 23:04

That's a very sweet sentiment, anon.

Anon213 · 11/05/2017 23:08

Well I like her. [cringe]

Yes, the more of us wish really hard, that will mean the universe has to give us whatever we've wished for.

Getting a second referendum

Ah, but we Remoaners are a vanishingly tiny minority, remember? Why, they probably don't exist at all! Naturally, their wishing power is correspondingly weak.

Our supreme leader Theresa has explained that the entire country are coming together to Will a Successful Brexit. Therefore, it's obvious that by virtue of 65 million people chanting "Ommmm I BeLeave..." that Successful Brexit will come to fruition. Pwomise!

Everytime someone says they don't believe in Brexit, a baby unicorn dies. Sad

Please, please, won't somebody think of the baby unicorns?

twofingerstoEverything · 12/05/2017 09:01

Maybe you should just get some sleep, optional. You seem to be getting incoherent with your talk of gawantees and pwomises.

Dead unicorns. Set the hounds on them instead of the poor little foxes.
