I think any deal should still be ratified by the people of course, this is different to what I am saying, deciding upon the type of Brexit is different to whether we should have one at all. Having another referendum should be off the cards but I definitely think we should get a say on ratifying any deal or we face leaving that part to the wishes of 600 or so people.
Of course if the deal shows we would be harmed and people still vote for it then we should plough on yes. Personally I can't see any way in which we will come out of this better at least in the short term unless we get the exact same deal we have now outside of the EU but with the other things we want.. Highly unlikely.
For many people there is more to this than GDP figures and the economics of FTSE100 companies. For some if free movement ends at the expense of a suffering economy they would vote for it and who is to decide for those people that their vote should be ignored?
Fascinated to understand why another Referendum should 'be off the cards'.
This is a monumental decision which thus far has been decided by one relatively narrow vote. Approx 600,000 votes the other way and the result would have been different.
I can see no good reason why there shouldn't be another vote. The leavers want democracy, so let's see how that democracy works out once people are faced with the consequences of this ridiculous decision.
