It seems absolutely unreasonable to me. It's hard to measure how certain tactics influenced the vote on either side. The voting process needs to be done with confidence and we should not so easily assume our peers are misinformed and/or so easily swayed. The efforts put forth by legitimate actors to campaign for their cause goes for not, as does confidence in the democratic process, when the outcome is just thrown away.
- TheOtherHobbes 8y agoThe voting process does need to be done with confidence. In the first vote Leave were referred to the police for illegality, and they still haven't provided a full account of their funding - at least some of which seems very likely to have come from foreign sources. This is explicitly and very clearly not legal, because foreign money has no business trying to influence the vote in a sovereign British matter. So a People's Vote would be the first honest vote.
