I'm not sure how we agreed to be in the EU when we voted to leave on 23rd June.
I don't expect everyone to be happy about the outcome of votes, but I do expect outcomes to be respected.
I'm not opposed to decisions being overturned, but I don't think it's right to re-run a vote right after it has been carried out. We haven't even left the EU yet. At some point after we've left the EU, perhaps there will be grounds to take another look at membership of the EU. But not straight away.
I want as many people as possible to participate in elections and referendums (even if I disagree with them), because I want everyone's voice to be heard. That's what it means to live in a democracy. And so I certainly intend to continue voting.
