And now for years the UK can't figure out how it wants to leave, which people had no vote on.
- Do you want to have a border in Ireland?
- Do you want a border between Ireland and the rest of the UK?
- Do you want to lose money for the NHS even though we had a bus saying the opposite?
- Are you just going to say "no" to everything, but not have an idea what to do instead?
Then maybe, just maybe it would a good idea to ask voters to choose again between leave this way, that way, another way or "who knew this could be so complicated, let's not do that".
- jamiegreen 7y agoWell given we have a deal with the EU that has addressed the first two points, I think we do know how we want to leave. Having another vote just because politicians didn't like the way the first one went is not democratic. We can have another vote, but lets leave first.

- diffeomorphism 7y ago> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brexit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brexit Parliament passed the second reading of the new agreement allowing it to move to the committee stage for further scrutiny, but they rejected plans to pass it into law before the 31 October deadline, and forced the government (through the 'Benn Act') to ask for a third Brexit delay. This was followed, on the last day of October, by an act providing for an early general election on 12 December. "Have", kinda but not quite. They are also not proposing that. If you have to misrepresent other groups instead of arguing against what they are actually saying then you are not discussing but just talking to yourself.
