Do you think anyone would listen?
No. I'd have to wait for another several years to vote again.
Perhaps the remoaners should wait several years, by which time we'd have left the EU, and vote to rejoin.
If the vote is still to stay out, you could wait another several years to vote again to rejoin.
After all, that is exactly what the remoaners are demanding now; another referendum, although they'd like it to happen right now!

So you are saying that the leavers are doing the same.
Why? Because they won the vote?
I think the root suggestion of this discussion is that once a majority voted to leave the EU, everyone should have accepted a democratic decision and let the government get on with honouring it.
No. Instead, the remoaners have done nothing but whinge about the decision and have done everything they can to try to persuade the government and the people that the decision was wrong and that it should be reversed.
In my opinion, that is not only anti-democratic but also childish!
Anyway, about Iceland you haven't addressed my earlier questions.

Still, when UKIP rises up again that could change.
The only way this country is ever going to get back on its feet properly is if British people would learn to pull together - just like the did in the war when we were under threat.
Well, we're under threat now from the EU.
