Oh, I’m pretty sure we don’t want a second referedum. We really don’t want to risk the English staying in Europe and dragging the rest of us down....

Edit:
Please take the Poles, Hungarians and Italians (except their cooking) with you.

Shavixmir, we'll save you a seat aboard HMS Britain when the eurozone implodes (a day not far off). If you want to stick with that ticking time bomb, don't blame me when I say "I told you so".

The problem is that since one's vote is negligible with respect to the outcome of the election, not voting is a rational choice esp. when it is cumbersome to cast it. That's why voting should both be mandatory and easy.

I’m curious, as a you’re Chelsea fan and someone who is rallying against the ‘gravy-train corrupt globalists’, what’s your take on Roman Abramovich?

Suppose that the referendum result were shown to have been decisively affected by Russian influence. Given that a democracy can only work if a vote is free and fair, the emphasis here being on fair, can the Brexit vote stand in the light of potential Russian interference? If a duly appointed court, in the light of sufficient evidence, finds that the vote was effectively rigged by outsiders then since parliament has it within her power to overturn the vote there is no reason not to overturn the vote. Further since parliament is sovereign in this country there is no reason to have another referendum. Personally I would not bother (as long as we keep the opt outs, and maybe extend them a little).

Sooooo, this thread is just a self-congratulatory jerk fest?

Ok, well, enjoy yourself. 😕
The sexist troll suzi at it again, why did she use the sexist term 'jerk - fest" when it could have easily been 'diddle the little man in the boat - fest'

Having thought about it, I am in favour of a second referendum. Just to piss the brexiteers off.

Yes. I’ll risk social anarchy and bloodshed just for giggles.

If they don't have an opinion, that's fine - just cast a blank vote. But not voting should not be an option precisely because these people do tend to have a preference - in the few countries with mandatory voting (e.g. Belgium, Australia) there are far fewer blank/invalid votes being cast than there are non-voters in the U.K.
