In the interest of stopping being dickish, you could start by admitting that brexiters are not, in fact, "half of the population". Around 1/4 of the population voted for brexit on the Referendum [1]. Since then, it's likely that some amongst those have changed their opinion, now that more information about how (and how not) the process would (or will not) take place.
> Look, we're going into this together.
I, as a non-UK European, agree on that. UK should have a second referendum, for its shake as well as Europe's.

- mdw 8y agoOtikik, as a Brit who voted remain, I’ll be proud to vote exit EU if we ever get faced with a ghastly anti-democratic second referendum.
- otikik 8y agoThe fact that new information is available now that when the Referendum took place is incontestable. In the light of this, not voting again is the anti-democratic option, from where I stand.
