We can change our mind on who we vote for but not on Brexit? Surely you have to implement the result of the first referendum before you can have a second referendum. There’s a flaw in that argument. See if you can spot it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a bit silly if people no longer agree with the first one. Bring back hanging! Forget that, we've changed our minds. What do you mean it's too late? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AV referendum was the same day as the 2011 Scottish Parliament election, and both were damaged by it. I knew it was at the same time as something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 SNP and LibDems to try to change the FTPA and get an election on December 9. I think that’s a bad idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Just out of curiosity, if a second referendum on leaving is undemocratic, how long before a referendum to rejoin is acceptable? Did anyone utter the phrase "once in a generation" during the last one? I feel this may be important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a fair chance Johnson and Corbyn will agree though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think is unlikely but we have to hope it will happen. Also if the FTPA is to be amended try reducing the voting age to 16. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
