This is of course hogwash and you well know it ANnie.
What they really mean there is that they have had time to use media control to brainwash large portions of the populous and now feel more confident that if they "ask again" they will get the answer they want.
That entire precept is utter Billy BS.
Every General Election we have is totally predicated on the understanding that large portions of the populous have been fed and soaked with poilitical propaganda in order that they will vote a specific way. Whoever manages to run the best media campaign will essentially win the election.
We only have to look at the wholly duped and conned young electorate who fell for Commie Corbyn's and Looney Labour's totally false promises of wiping student debts and having free tuition fees.
The populous WILL ALWAYS BE MISINFORMED and purposely duped by political groups to make them vote a specific way. There will NEVER be any point where people are properly and fully informed and able to make a sound objective decision. THAT is how UK politics operates.
The referendum was no exception. Whether people were given true information or the right information or enough information is of no concern. They were asked Leave or Stay and they voted Leave.
End of.
The Remain camp should have perhaps spent more time trying to justify how good and positive Staying would be rather than spending all their campaign saying how bad Leaving would be.
Unfortunately for you, they didn't.
The result stands, and will continue to stand.
Misinformation is not an excuse for another referendum
Ignorance is not an excuse for another referendum
People not bothering to vote is not an excuse for another referendum
"We don't like the result", is not an excuse for another referendum
There simply can be NO SECOND REFERENDUM unless it is one that does not challenge the result of the previous referendum.
That people are continuing to pervert the democratic process is tragic and dispicable. They should be punished for it, just as you would be punished for trying to rig election votes.
