    A confirmatory referendum IS democracy. The people decide the outcome based on having the actual facts to work with.
    The scenario was some sort of weird fantasy of yours 59, could we stick to the reality please, that's bizarre enough as it is. You want the people to decide, now that we have the actual facts to work with ? You should seek employment as a stand-up comedian mon ami, you'd do well. This WA which May and the EU have cooked up between them, how many have read it, how many know what it contains, how many are aware of the actual facts buried away inside ? 99.9% of the people in this country have never read it, nor have idea of it's implications, even you who has followed Brexit as closely as anyone, thought it would all be finished with after the two year transition period. No it won't, and if even you aren't aware of what's buried inside there, not many others will be either. But yet you want a vote claiming we now know what we'll be voting for ?

    The BBC are always on the look out for lefty comedians 59, they pay well I believe.

    As Bob Monkhouse said, "My friends laughed when I told then I was going to be a comedian. They aren't laughing now"

    The fact remains that we now have the information we need. Neither you or I will read the documents verbatim, but during a campaign neither side will be allowed to get away with inventing stuff which is not in the documents.
    There will still be plenty of room for argy bargy but this time we will have a document to fact check what we are being told.

    And is my scenario that much different than the Brexit thing? I presume that, because you haven't answered, you would support the proposal to be enacted - in the name of democracy?
