By that logic, the referendum in 1975 ish should still stand. Unless there is a time limit on your democracy.

The negotiated deal has already been universally rejected. So the situation has changed. Why would a democratic vote be undemocratic? Do you no longer care about what the majority of people in the country think?
The result of the referendum in1975 was implemented.The result of the referendum in 2016 has not as yet.Once it has then it may be challenged, Democracy in action. Simple really.Unless you are somebody who only believes in democracy when it suits

The latest polling suggests that 56% of voters now want us to remain. You think they should be ignored. You only believe in democracy when it suits.
You're ignoring democracy when it suits you and wanting to implement it when you think it may be in your favour. Laughable

When have I ignored it? They’ve spent 2 1/2 years negotiating a deal that no one wants. Rather then leaving without a deal (which isn’t what was campaigned for by the leave campaign) I think it should be recognised that the situation has changed, 2 1/2 years is a long time in politics and we should ensure that leaving without a deal is actually the will of the people.
I suspect that you suspect that it isn’t and that is what you’re actually afraid of. Not democracy.
My democratic position is this. We leave the EU at the end of march with or without a deal but leave we must. If the government then feel that we should then have another referendum then so be it, I would not have any problem with that as that would be how democracy is supposed to work
there was a 10% lead for staying a few weeks before the last vote , even on the night it had remain still ahead by about 3 points.
we all know how that ended.

Of course. But a lot has changed since then. Are you concerned that the will of the people has?

no mate, just makes it all a bit of a mute point if you enact only the ones you agree with and ignore those you don't.
not really any reason to have any if we just go along with the status quo anyway.

So you would’ve been happy with May’s deal?

Of course it probably has, but do people really think that just ignoring a result like that - without doing anything to actually say why it should be ignored - is ever going to result in anything positive?
