LibDems wanting a second referendum - Please explain the logic

[optionalrationale]

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.

Better leave the UK then too huh?

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do

You caused this. The EU did not Sorry that is just rot, the EU are complicit.

The EU and its politicians (including UK politicians) tried to turn Europe into a protectionist superstate without asking its citizens permission. So they haven't a single leg to stand on when some of the 'citizens' say "hold on this isn't what we agreed to".

The EU did not make it explicit that FOM was contingent on a member states staying in the EU. Probably because it was deliberately engineering a situation that stopped any state from ever escaping. That does not mean they are blameless. A lie by omission is still a lie.

The EU (and UK) politicians are to blame, UK citizens and myself are NOT to blame.

The EU (and UK) politicians are to blame, UK citizens and myself are NOT to blame.

OK. Got it. Absolutely nothing to do with Brexit is due to people who campaigned or voted for Brexit.

So when my red white and blue unicorn arrives with its gold farts from the sunlit uplands, will you also absolve yourself of your contribution to that?

"The EU (and UK) politicians are to blame, UK citizens and myself are NOT to blame."

This sentiment beggars belief.

Really optional? Persistently pursuing a random poster around MN is the best use of your time?

You ought to be basking in this glorious victory of the finest and bravest people in all of time and space - kick back, sip some Pimm's and wait for the sunlit uplands to roll on in!

Oh, and take a chill pill 😘

No I just think it is HILARIOUS that you won't express what you wish for? Are you ashamed of it? If not, why do you avoid the question?

USE MORE CAPS LOCK optional. It really helps to add credibility to your posts.

So this is somewhat ironic coming from someone who regularly comes om this thread to make oh-so-side-spittingly-hilarious pithy comments about unicorns.. yes we get it...

But why are you so ashamed simply to express what you wish for?

What's hard about that question?
