Another referendum

Given that the shape of Brexit was unknown at the time of the referendum, should we have another referendum when we know what the final deal is? I know most are bitterly opposed to this, but it does have a certain logic.

No..

despite being opposed to it from the outset and voting to remain its done and whatever the outcome then we have to get on with it in whatever form it comes..

If Parliament bins it then that would be fine but i doubt that will happen and whatever we end up will be a fudge to keep the far right swivel eyed loons in the Tory party who wont be happy quiet or quiet to a point that people will just go yeah mate we've been through all that and don't want to know again..

we will still be part in but not in, a total fudge and a waste of money and time when the elected representatives could have been sorting out more pressing issues within society..

Cue the hellfire and damnation, swampy cesspit of death, brexiter scum nonsense that usually follows these things. Logic says that there are plenty of people who would turn down any deal that wasn't gold plated, more than we ever gave Europe because they're daft enough to feel entitled to it. Others would take anything at all to leave no matter how crap. And many people in the middle wondering... who would stick with the status quo because they fear change. And all of their opinions are valid, ??but few are helpful. I just feel it would cause more confusion. And many more lies. We've had enough of both.

Yes & no

Yes because only then would everyone have an informed choice knowing far more about the outcome of either choice.

No because maybe if Brexit is the total disaster I think it will be then there may be a chance future governments will learn there's something's you don't ask the uneducated masses to decide upon that has so far reaching consequences for the entire nation.

I understand the point.

That the vision of what "leave" looked like was, well, let's just say, somewhat obscured.

That's down to the idiots who called referendum and those who led the leave campaigns.

Let's say there is another referendum.

What would the question be?

And what would the consequences be of either outcome?

In order to address the weakness of the first referendum, the second would need clear and unambiguous visions of what either outcome looked like.

My preference, I think, is to leave it to the political party manifestos at a General Election.

The question of a second referendum is quite a complex issue with a number of competing factors to take into account. To claim any of these factors must be supreme is clearly nonsense.

Firstly there are the two diametrically opposed economic arguments. One goes, we were given no clear vision as to what a post brexit Britain would look like economically and therefore the country should have the final say when deal is known. Opposed to that view and equally valid is the position that says we were told that to leave the EU meant leaving the CU, EEA and all EU bodies, if any who voted out did not understand the implications of that (economic or otherwise) then tough, you made your choice now live with it.

Then there are the political and democratic arguments. These again break into 2 diametrically opposed camps.

One that goes along the lines of the choice is made, thats it. Hoist the battle ensign, dress the ship, full steam ahead and dam the torpedoes! (Pick your own choice of patriotic music and turn the volume up!) Commodore Brexit-Farage pushed for the orders for years and now Captain BoJo Tory-Eurosceptic is at the helm and 'by god' he has his orders and will do his duty even if it means HMS Britain and all its crew will be lost, he is going to ram the battleship EU. All very patriotic, boys own and makes a great action movie designed to unite the country together against a common foe. Also total bullshit, but very alluring and shows how emotional a subject this is.

Against that is the counter position that had the reality of brexit been explained to the British people they would not have voted leave, that in a democracy everyone has a right to change their mind, the only reason the leave faction are so determined there should be no second vote on the issue is because they know they would be overwhelmingly defeated in a second vote and that the only way to reunite the country is to have a second referendum on the final deal.

Personally, I think that if there is to be any sort of meaningful political change in this country then we have to play this hand out and force those who have lied about the EU for decades to own their deceits and obfuscations, even if it results in violence or even revolution. Just my opinion, nothing more or less.

We are now almost 2 years from the referendum and a year from Brexit and we still dont really know what the final deal will look like, so I dont think anyone voted based on known outcomes. We could leave it to parliament but do the politicians really have the political will to overturn a referendum result, even if they believe the negotiated settlement is against the interests of the country?

I was initially against the idea of a second referendum but I am feeling more and more persuaded that it is the right thing to do.

I voted remain, but a second referendum and "remain" win just pisses off "leave"! Do we go best out of 3? I really believe we have to see brexit through. This way one side or the other will be "proved" right. This is an experiment of gigantic proportions and NOBODY knows how it will go from either side. What we should do is set a time limit of how long we give it - only if it goes wrong. If it goes right we should see very quickly that it is. I would say 5 years max and then maybe another vote?

There would be some interesting conundrums in the event of a further referendum. For example... Would Theresa May still back Remain or would she now say that after everything she has experienced and “learned” (lol) that she now backs Leave?

The absolute reality is that our elected Politicians who really ought to have a better idea of the political implications of leaving than we do - well they have been, and continue to be struggling with organising a leaving process that is even remotely good for the U.K. If they were ignorant - how on Earth was sweaty bollox, ordinary bloke expected to make an informed decision?

Sad as it sounds, I think that a second referendum would create even more division and hostility and because the complacent Remain voters may well swing the vote - then what? A narrow Remain vote would be even worse than what we now have.

I should say that I think that now we should leave it to the elected representatives to resolve one way or the other. Unfortunately though, we have the most incompetent Govt in living memory and an Opposition that trips themselves up every time they have the opportunity to score in an open goal.

So what then????.... I wonder if the political landscape is fertile enough for something/someone new? Charismatic, no bullshit and a cohesive force that can bring the country together again. That is my hope because right now with all the talk of campaign fraud, Downing Street outing a gay guy because they didn’t agree with him and the likes of Rees Mogg trying to take the country back - 150 years - I feel kind of in despair for where we are heading.

Well me and Tony still think we should have another referendum. Parliament hasn't got the guts or mandate to stop brexit but they do have the power to vote for another referendum on the final deal, and I still think they may do so. If leave lost, of course some will be spitting mad, but there are plenty remainers who are currently in that position. And the majority will just carry on going about their business.

If the result of the referendum is ignored it will simply confirm that we are under the control of a shadowy force ( call it the ’establishment ‘ or the ‘deep state ‘ or whatever you want to call it ) that make us think we live in a democracy but that democracy is only allowed to be exercised as long as we don’t challenge the status quo .

To me a compromise to placate Remoaners is to have a referendum to rejoin after 20 years ( by then the undemocratic and corrupt political project called the EU may have totally collapsed anyway ), otherwise we will be having referendums every few years about this issue

It's not a shadowy force, its parliament, our elected representatives who need to agree and pass the final deal. And I think it is going to get very messy.

The sovereignty of the people should mean that there has to be a deal rejection /acceptance vote. Likewise with parliament.

The first one was an advisory poll, where there was little clue what it would involve if the UK left. As it's potentially the biggest change for many people over the whole course of their lives it's naturally right that they decide based on the facts of the offer.

Where did it say - "This is advisory only"?

It wasn't on the paper on which I put my cross.

And David Cameron never said - "It's advisory only, we don't have to take any notice of it".

And how come Parliament have now acted on it and voted overwhelmingly for Brexit?

And how come the Article 50 letter was sent to Brussels and accepted?

Your missing the point completely.

Catalan is located in the sovereign state of Spain. The UK is a sovereign state which happens to be an EU member. The EU don't control (despite what some think) over our parliament. Hence when leave voted out nothing to do with EU control. The example of Ireland was a direct comparison of a UDI declaration we went in with Brute force. The panning government acted proportionally to an illegal internal problem.

If Scotland used UDI to leave the UK would you be happy to see English police sent to Scotland to beat the shit out of Scottish voters or try to lock up elected Scottish politicians?

What do you mean by 'Scotland'? The majority of Scots voted to remain part of the United Kingdom.

And why would it just be English police beating the shit out Scottish voters and not the PSNI or Welsh police too?"

Have the Scottish people no right to change their minds now ?

Interesting so would force people into keeping their no vote ? Lol

Things have changed big time and in a democracy you are allowed to change your mind

"YouGov Poll states 70% of UK population now accept Brexit

mentioned on ITV this morning.

.

the 30% who don't accept, need to get over it and face reality"
Would that be the reality that the Leave Campaign clearly articulated during the campaign?

No, thought not

I agree, things have changed. But the result of the referendum still stands. In a democracy you accept the result (unless you are exempt from this because of the Treaty of Arbroath and because you are a sovereign person).

Now can you answer the second question about the police please.

It was just an advisory referendum, without the clear details of what it would entail - and certainly there was no understanding about what the final EU/UK negotiated offer would be. People and politicians should therefore be able to take an educated decision, with the available facts known, before the next decision is taken.

This is why the UK government wont be able to refuse a Section 30 order for a Scottish independence referendum

As the EU referendum as just an advisory referendum so if The UK government block a referendum on Scottish independence and Scotland have an advisory referendum they UK government have no leg to stand on to ignore a yes vote when they are willing to take the whole UK out of the EU

Your logical is incredible!

People on here are saying that the Brexit referendum was advisory only. I.e. the Government are not bound by it.

You now say that if Scotland had another independence referendum, that would be advisory only, just like the Brexit one, but that the Government cannot ignore it.

So you are saying that can ignore an advisory referendum on Brexit, but cannot ignore an advisory referendum on Scottish independence!

How can that be?

Either all referendums are advisory only, in which case they are pointless, or they are binding.

The fact is the Brexit referendum was binding, not advisory and that is why Article 50 was triggered.

Had the Scots voted for independence, then they would have got it.

Can you imagine Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon, allowing the people who post on this thread to argue - oh, your referendum was advisory, just like Brexit was. The UK government can ignore it, just like the Brexit referendum?

Never in a million years would Salmond and Sturgeon agreed that it was advisory only!

Agan say the UK government refuse a section 30 order that is nothing and i mean nothibg stopping Scotland having a referendum on independence without Westminsters permission

If a yes vote is returned as i said the UK government have no leg to stand on

If they think its ok to take the whole UK out of the EU non binding referendum

Then will look dumb as fuck If they try and ignore A non binding referendum on Scottish independence

The best option is to have a legally binding referendum Scottish independence and state their case for the UK union things have changed and thats why they sre shitting themselves they 100% know there is no voters changed their minds since 2014 can affold to lose them and wave cheerio to their we shit UK union lol

I think Jacob Rees Mogg hit the nail on the head recently when he described those calling for a 2nd referendum as cave dwellers and summed it up perfectly when he said remainers who want a 2nd referendum are just like the Japanese WW2 soldiers who refused to come out of the jungle and accept defeat after the war had ended. They stayed in the jungle thinking they could still win even though the war was over and the rest of the world had moved on.

Instead of making such comments and creating more division he should be seeking ways of bringing the country together. Pontificating as he does, in his privileged manor he only winds it up. If brexit fails - and nobody knows what will happen - it's all guesswork at the moment, then the division is only going to get worse! Remainers will hold a grudge against leavers for their "suffering", and some leavers will rebell because "navarna" hasn't been delivered. I fear rioting on the streets like we saw in the race riots of the 1970's. So yes you had better hope brexit is a success and a quick one too as some people want instant results!

The key differences being that one side is forcing something that qualitatively is seen by them as wrong, by a government that hasn't been open and inclusive upon a highly complex matter. The concept of leave or remain may appear simple but the finer points of how it's done are not and could have massive differences in their results. Using Henry VIII powers to open the potential for widespread legal changes for whatever the government may want, without appropriate public review, is just one aspect of what can be criticized as a very inappropriate way to do something, at odds with democratic process.

As no one knew what the facts were about leaving the EU until the exit deal is clear and agreed, simple common sense would shout that such a life changing decision be done with public and parliamentary voting. More so, when the last general election in the UK which was called several years ahead of its schedule, failed to give the conservative party their own majority, pushing them to do an expensive deal with the DUP.

What the last general election revealed was that parties with Brexit manifestos got a combined 85% share of the vote!

Parties with Remain manifestos only got 15% share of the vote.

"Given that the shape of Brexit was unknown at the time of the referendum, should we have another referendum when we know what the final deal is? I know most are bitterly opposed to this, but it does have a certain logic. "

We knew what “the shape of Brexit” would be. And we still know what the shape of Brexit will be. So I don’t see what different another referendum will make.

Although they say that more younger people will vote remain who could now vote as they turned 18,and some older people who are no longer able to vote, would likely have voted leave. So it might make for a different result, but who knows!

But the shape of Brexit won’t have an impact on the outcome.

Besides reversing the decision isn’t a magic fix that will reverse the damage already done.

It's not a question of individual areas. In fact in the YouGOv poll, less people in London were in favour of Brexit, than in Scotland, and London is the capital of the UK. It's about the UK as a whole, and as a whole, the UK voted to leave, and in the latest poll, as a whole, 70% of the UK are happy with Brexit.

Democracy is not a one off event and things change and people are allowed to change their minds

Did you forget the people of Scotland gave the Scottish government a mandate and the Scottish parilament also gave the Scottish government a mandate for an independence referendum

But then again it appears you dont believe in democracy its all about brexit for you no matter tge cost even if it damages Scotland you are willing to accept it

And who voted against Scottish Independence? Only the Scottish people.

And how can it be undemocratic to have a referendum less than 2 years ago, and just because people like you will not accept the result, you want another one.

What would you do if that one also voted for Brexit? Would you want another one in another year?

What would you have said if the 2016 had voted for Remain, and I wanted another referendum? Would you say that was a good idea. And then I want one next year, next month, next week.

It was billed as a one off referendum, just like the Scottish one.

They both produced results and those results are to be abided by.

Wrong lol English Welsh NI and non UK citizens did also vote in the 2014 referendum lol

There clearly is so little you know about Scotland

Another wee trick unionists try but they clearly do not think about it see if Scotland didnt respect the 2014 independence referendum then Scottish government would have just ignored that vote and called for independence but they didnt Scotland is not independent right now lol

Those who lose their referenda seem to demand another go, those who win don't. The silly thing is, it would be the same the other way round and kinky would be on here griping about people trying to have another referendum after a few years because he'd got his result and didn't want it changed.

Those who lose their referenda seem to demand another go, those who win don't. The silly thing is, it would be the same the other way round and kinky would be on here griping about people trying to have another referendum after a few years because he'd got his result and didn't want it changed. "

Oh you clearly dont get how it works lol

Right say Scotland got independence first off parties would need to register as offical parties not made up parties posing as branch offices lol

Then if a party out in their manifesto to rejoin in a union with England and win the election then yes they wiuld have a mandate for a referendum in rejoin in a UK union thats democracy correct ?

Democracy is not a one off event

"If only England could be independent!

I told you before what my view was. If any part of the UK wants independence, then that is the break-up of the UK, and all parts of the UK should get to vote on that.

It's about the break up of the UK, not just England. That's the point.

So you would be more than happy for people living outside of England telling you whats best for England ? Lol"

You're the one who wants independence but wants to be back in the EU.

I simply told you that any break up of the UK has to involve every part of it being involved in the vote.

And you are just speaking hypothetically, because the most important part of the UK is England.

Take note people you wonder why there is so many of us in Scotland that want the UK to break apart

Take a look above at LeedsAndy comment claiming the " the most important country in the UK is England" and he is not the only one believe me in England that thinks that sadly

Clearly dont care about Scotland , Wales and NI merely see us as colonies of England for them to rule over

I didn't say that I didn't care. You said that. I said that England is the most important part of the UK, and it is. Economically, politically, population wise. By any accepted measure it is.

So you believe is the England is the most important country in the UK therefore you do not vaule Scotland ,Wales and NI

Told you people LeedsAndy is not the only one there is somone else on these very forums that thinks because England has the biggest population that England should get the biggest say on how the UK is run

Anyone still wondering why we in Scotland want to get the hell away from the UK union

Some think is ok for Westminster / English rule over Scotland Wales NI like we are just wee colonies of England to boss about

"

Instead of making such comments and creating more division he should be seeking ways of bringing the country together.

Replace Rees Mogg with Anna Soubry , Tony Blair, Vince Cable, Lord Adonis, Nicola Sturgeon, Kier Starmer, to name but a few, and the divisiveness can also be seen on the remain side.

The key differences being that one side is forcing something that qualitatively is seen by them as wrong, by a government that hasn't been open and inclusive upon a highly complex matter. The concept of leave or remain may appear simple but the finer points of how it's done are not and could have massive differences in their results. Using Henry VIII powers to open the potential for widespread legal changes for whatever the government may want, without appropriate public review, is just one aspect of what can be criticized as a very inappropriate way to do something, at odds with democratic process.

As no one knew what the facts were about leaving the EU until the exit deal is clear and agreed, simple common sense would shout that such a life changing decision be done with public and parliamentary voting. More so, when the last general election in the UK which was called several years ahead of its schedule, failed to give the conservative party their own majority, pushing them to do an expensive dheal with the DUP.

And there you go...."I'm not accepting the result" because it wasn't a big enough majority"."

You missed the point entirely - it's the qualitative aspects of the negotiated deal and how the government implements the changes that will have very different results for you in the UK. The use of Henry VIII powers alone should be alarming.

But is it? This is just another misnomer like Turkey is joining soon. Whilst there will be greater intergration in some area's the 27 will not give away their sovereignty. If nothing else brexit has opened eyes to this. Remember the 27 are the real controllers they just have the EU as a "management team".

Sovereignty is the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference from outside sources or bodies.

The 27 have already given away their sovereignty.

By that definition we should not be in NATO.

Brexiters need to understand that the world revolves around international aggreements which, by default involve compromises for the better good of all involved.

We were a part of the EU and were therefore materially involved in the decision making of the EU. It is the height of ignorance to think that the EU is a distant behemoth that gets off on unilaterally telling countries what to do. It makes decisions for the betterment of itself and it’s members.

That is exactly what happened in 2014. The SNP had a majority and there was a referendum.

Scottish voters decided to stay in the UK.

You cannot keep having referendums until you get the result you want. Unless of course you are the EU!

Did it escape your memory that SNP were elected in their manifesto thats a mandate from the voters in Scotland

And ontop of that the Scottish parilament voted and passed on the Section 30 order thats democratic abd another mandate

Maybe if you want independence off the table then those unionist branches in Scotland should do alot better and action win an election in Scotland eh ? Lol

The political and demographic environment is constantly changing and it is dumb fuckery of the highest order to ignore the changing world and press on regardless. Both sides need to abandon ideology and we all need to start dealing with facts.

oh we believe in democracy.... it very much was democracy in action when the people of scotland voted against independence in the referendum,

which was described by the then first minster of socland, and his deputy first minster as a "once in a generation" vote....

or is it only "anti-democratic" when a vote doesn't go your way?

so... when said first minster and deputy first minister both said it would be a once in a generation vote... should we not believe that they would not keep there word?
