Of course this will mean that we don't need workers from the EU!

Re: Second Referendum etc.
The one thing that terrifies most Brexiteers is any mention of a second referendum. They absolutely have the vapours at the slightest reference to itThe reason given is that "The British people have already spoken".
I doubt that that is the real reason. It's more likely a fear of losing a second referendum, as an educated and informed electorate come out more strongly to vote against Brexit.
Either way, it would still be only a referendum. The whole thing would have to get through Parliament, though as a General Election is looming the composition of the Commons could change dramatically as a result of the recent political turmoil.

Brexit is not just about the economics Solash.
People voted to Leave, a kick in the teeth to our Political Elite.
It is about Democracy, we voted Leave, we must do so.
We have a very different Political System here to that on the Continent.
We do not have PR, we have two bunches of idiots who put Politics first, not the ordinary people.
I am not stupid, I know it will hurt for some time.
The end result will however be much better for us.
As for the EU, it is far from perfect itself.
It is no secret on here that I do not like Juncker, neither do I admire him as a Politician.
It has been my misfortune in life to have to sit in a restaurant, not as a principle, just an anonymous man in a suit and listen to him, getting steadily more intoxicated, on expenses, slagging off the UK and other Countries.
I simply do not want to be part of such a system.
He was once asked, directly, why he was taking action against countries other than France for breaking the rules, but taking no action against France.
His response?
Because it is France.
So, so, wrong.
For the avoidance of doubt, yes I was on expenses at the time.
A very basic level, meal of the day and water, certainly not a La Carte and ordering wine at £80 a bottle.

If however the leave-side is so convinced of their being right, they wouldn't fear a second or even third referendum. Logic would prevail and prove them right every time. But they fear a second referendum because they know it will prove them wrong.

Holding to account? Those stupid, irresponsible 17,4 mln voters for a brexit should feel what they caused. But that is impossible it would hurt the sensible half of your population.

Remember, that's the SNP's raison d'etre and they're making it as difficult as possible for the rest of the UK to leave the EU just for that reason.Perhaps when we leave they could have another referendum to separate from the Union and rejoin the EU if they choose? By which time of course we could all be thriving economies so choose not to rejoin the EU?
Saw a report that Gina Miller is calling for Brexit to be stopped ... apparently she's tired
Don't know how accurate it is, from Sky News.
