The problem is parliament not history. It makes youna complete hypocrite because in one hand you say the referendum is only advisory but you want another one for some absurd reason.
Old arguments .... boring boring boring.....
Its because you can't accept the outcome of the first one and you want another vote so you can fudge the result to remain. Whether it was legal or not in the first place is irrelevant its just a big con because you can't face the result.
And you then claim parliament is sovereign after what we have witnessed over the past 3 years ?
The mind boggles ....
I don’t claim Parliament to be sovereign it just happens to be a an indisputable fact. Something else is seems you are unaware of
You are also incorrect in assuming that I don’t accept the result of the referendum. I do but that doesn’t mean I have to agree with it and fortunately I am perfectly entitled to express that view as the UK is not an authoritarian state
Your words make it obvious you are running scared of the possibility of a confirmatory referendum, perhaps because you fear that a significant number of the populace may have seen through the fake news and BS peddled by leavers.
Personally I’d rather Parliament solves the impasse but if they can’t and we’re would be heading for a no deal Brexit there’s a high probability the will fast track legislation to revoke Article 50 rather than crash out For me a good solution but certainly divisive which is why the option having of a 2nd referendum may be a more equitable solution
Here’s a once ardent Brexiteers view of harsh reality as he sees it
