That wouldn't be democracy because a second referendum would be boycotted by millions of Leave voters.
Anyway, the Gov't have made it clear there won't be one.

That too would be democracy at work.
You are the one that doesn't trust his government.

That is true Moscow! Our government know that a democratic vote is an opportunity for the people to make a decision which will be acted upon. If the Remainers don't like the majority vote, they will have to wait till we leave and see if they can persuade the PM to allow another one, asking if we would like to return to the EU.
If that ever happens it will be like telling the EU that we are prepared to do whatever they want us to.... and the return deal will be much more costly.
Only a fool would want to go down that road.

Isn't it time to stop winding everyone up, Solasch?
If your dozens of negative doom and gloom postings are convincing anybody, I'm a Dutchman!
Give us a break!

The referendum has to be respected.
In years to come, if we decide on another Referendum to rejoin, that will be fine by me.
If Merkel and Macron are gone and the EU is back to a trading bloc, not a political take over, I would rejoin.
I was a very reluctant leaver, events since then have convinced me that I made the right decision and I would vote leave now without any doubt.
