DR said: ?As I said earlier, we could've left the EU by now and therefore honoured the referendum result, were it not for the hardline Breziters. It all rings rather hollow hearing Brexiters say that democracy hasn't been upheld when Brexiters have voted down a deal to leave the EU...? Half-in-half-out with Northern Ireland sold down the swanny wasn?t my idea of Brexit. To return to my football analogy, it?s a bit like telling Man City and Liverpool they can only ever draw with teams.

I understand your views are sincerely held DR. However the Brexit divide is becoming irrelevant as the debate has now morphed into one questioning the very nature of democracy in this country and the suitability of our institutions. A second referendum will only add fuel to the fire. Let?s hope it doesn?t become a firestorm.

Beautifully put DF. To use some Remainer logic (sic) if Man City and Liverpool both win tomorrow and City get 98 points to Liverpool?s 97, City should not be crowned Champions because of the narrow majority and because Liverpool fans won?t like the result.

Sue, my understanding is as a UK citizen, if you are on the electoral register, you don?t need to register to vote in the EU elections. Your polling card should come through automatically. EU citizens do though, presumably to avoid duplication in case they are registered elsewhere or have postal votes etc

Sigh...such a golden age. Britain booming, 240 pence to the pound, yards, feet, inches, fractions, pounds, ounces, gallons, pints, fluid ounces etc etc None of this EU Monopoly money and metric nonsense

1,137,100 people live in Birmingham according to the mid 2017 population estimates. That is a smaller number than the majority in the referendum. https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/info/20057/about_birmingham/1294/population_and_census/2 That should keep you busy counting rice grains exdulwicher

Sorry to edit your question as above but there is no logic whatsoever. A referendum is held on staying in or leaving the EU. Leave wins. Losers don?t like the result and campaign to overthrow the result by ...wait for it... having another referendum even though they don?t respect the results of referendums. You couldn?t make it up

Vernon Bogdanor mentioned that point Alan, it would be a great deal for NI. So good in fact that it would upset many of the EU 27 because of the unfair trading advantage of NI?s ?special status?.

Can?t comment on the accuracy of any breakdown you received Alan. What I would question is why we?ve agreed to pay the EU a ?39 Billion (probably double that if the truth be known) divorce payment when headteachers in schools are mopping out toilets and parents are being asked to pay for books, pencils, teachers?s pensions etc etc. I?ll be pleased to read your attempt at justification.

Agree with JoeLeg she should be arrested on return and questioned and monitored for the future. I?m not sure how I stand though with the likes of the Jihadist Beatles. Not only are they likely to be responsible for unspeakable atrocities I can?t see how they?d ever reintegrate to ?normal? life. Shamima at least stands a chance. Finally on dbboy?s post, I think you?ll find drug dealers and pushers do more harm to the fabric of Britain than our indigenous extremist Muslims.

Interesting. Just watching ?Beyond 100 Days? on the BBC News Channel. The point was made how important the coming Presidential Election is in terms of whether Trump has done anything wrong. If Mueller has a case against Trump it has to be brought before 5 years due to a statute of limitations. However if Trump wins again he will be protected by his office and it will be too late to bring the case.

Perspective Sephiroth, perspective. The UK will not be destroyed.

I don?t share your pessimism Sephiroth

More to the point would you take out a mortgage that has no end date?

I think you?re right, it was our negotiating team that came up with the backstop as a possible solution to the border issue. I would be prepared to accept the backstop if there was a short time limit on it. As it stands there is little incentive for the EU to negotiate an all encompassing trade deal

Unfortunately Sephiroth, unlike Ireland which won firm legal guarantees from the EU which satisfied the reservations of the voters, I can?t see the EU giving us firm legal guarantees that Prevent us being trapped by the backstop. As such any second referendum now would only be a re-run of the first. It was a mistake not to discuss a trade deal in parallel with the withdrawal agreement as a trade deal favourable to both parties might negate the need for a backstop. But we are where we are. The EU?s insistence on the backstop implies a favourable trade deal is unlikely.

Hey, you?re the one who plays fantasy games not me. Without giving you a history lesson and going into too much detail, your political masters won some legal guarantees from the EU and re-framed the second referendum debates. Project fear also played a part in the Lisbon referendum mark II at least where Yes slogans such as ?Europe: Let?s be at the heart of it? were replaced with more dramatic messages such as ?Ruin versus recovery?.

I?m not struggling at all. It?s fantasy* to think the people reviewed their decision spontaneously. The facts were your political masters in Ireland and Europe made you vote again because the people gave what they considered the wrong answers. (* see what I did there)

If you say so ...
