    How many wrinklies have passed since the referendum? The majority of 60+ voted leave. Far less of them now than there was. Further, there are lots of new voters who now have a vote as they are 18+ but were in the 11-17 age range back in 2016. The majority of the young are in favour of the EU.

    Whatever the angle on the ballot. IMO, any new referendum, be that worded to overturn the 2016 vote or worded to apply to rejoin would see the UK heading back to EU membership.

    It is inevitable that as time passes the groundswell of opinion will shift towards some form of closer relationship with the EU, indeed economic realities will require this to happen.

    I do laugh when I hear the dimwits and other idiots claiming that somehow the Tories have failed to grasp the opportunities that Brexit offered. Yet when you ask them to explain exactly what these benefits or opportunities were that have been missed. funnily enough they can never give one concrete example, but waffle on about some vague concept that clearly doesn't exist except in the minds of the foolish.

    I mean its clear now that virtually everything promised was either a lie or just wishful thinking. Its even funnier when one considers one of the main reasons was immigration and yes EU migrants have reduced considerably, but non EU migrants have increased, so we are sourcing our key labour requirements from outside europe.

    Even the frothing over migrants crossing the channel, fails to recognise that these numbers are far lower than used to come by lorry and ferry!
