    If Gove was a remoaner he’d want another vote!

    He only lost by a couple of percent so let’s do it all over again!

    I was always told as a kid "beware of setting precedents" Very few seem to realise the damage that can be caused if you go back on the result of a national vote. The floodgates will open to oppose any decision and regard it as worthless. The EU works on this basis, as in the case with Ireland, the Netherlands and Denmark. They Ignore peoples votes. Remainers are exactly the same, Ignorant, Disrespectful and blatantly undemocratic. That mindset does not belong here.

    Question for you, which is more democratic?

    Calling for another democratic vote

    Or

    Leaving the EU without a deal, which has not been voted for by a single person and has been rejected by Parliament...

    You REALLY don't get it do you? I thought you were just stubborn but it really is one huge mental block.

    You're right, I don't get it.

    I can't get my head around Brexit as a whole, why we've voted in favour of putting trade barriers in place with our largest trading partner and diminished our right to live, work and travel in 27 other countries.

    But I really don't get the 'democracy' argument. We live in a constitution where parliament is sovereign. Parliament has rejected every option available to them. The referendum was clear that it was a Leave vote, with a deal. Had the deal that had been negotiated passed through parliament then that would have been democracy. Parliament has rejected that 3 times. They've rejected a No-Deal. We are in political deadlock...

    What is your solution?

    123.....How on earth do you arrive at this conclusion? "diminished our right to live, work and travel in 27 other countries"
    We are leaving the EU not Europe. That was a basic fact of the referendum.
