It's getting to more or less close to an 'evens chance' they might even call one, perhaps just to prospone anyone taking any real decisions. Hard to know if the 17.4m will sit back and take being asked again, or take inspiration from their Frenchy cousions who just threw a strop over diesel prices.

They are not a fixed bunch nor is there still anywhere near 17.4 million this time. Its only folks that are willing for brexit to occur keep quoting this figure.

Nigel Farage and a host of other British Patriots had other things to say about that and the British electorate made a very well informed decision and smartly decided to leave. David Cameron himself a staunch Europhile resigned the following day and his political gamble to appease the Euroskeptics backfired badly on him. Theresa May then doubled down by calling an Early election only to lose her Majority and put the DUP and Euroskeptics in firm control. It has all been very entertaining to watch and watching the liberal Europhiles squirm as they lost and refuse to accept it has been all the better.

Please don't mention some slightly random 'new poll' that asked 1,000 random blokes in the pub, filled with shandies, what they would vote 2nd time around. Like the numbers or not, it's only the folks who still think it was just a bad dream, (like Trump the POTUS), who are certain it didn't actually happen, nor could ever happen again. Likely v2.0 went ahead, it wouldn't be a boolean question, but rather multi-choice, full of conditional (if/when) statements, all rich in word-play that leads to further mayhem.

Look accum I know you've a penchant for brexit so you don't offer serious discussion when you make remarks like as couple or blokes down the pub , you only make it easy to descredit you. Don't do that.

On the otherhand, I understand/predicted how it occured (like Trump), and would also predict a messy situation if they called it again. There would no easy guarantee of what way it would go, so don't assume with certaintly you already know the result. It would even more difficult to call than the 1st one. And don't put a monetary price on holding any referendum, it's a democratic choice for the people not a commercial purchase to consider.

I'll get plenty of miles out of that. Democracy doesn't end after a single vote. Thought you might know that. Alas... Perhaps not

To clarify again, neither support any Irexit, but can predict a growing appetite for it if certain conditions occurs. Prediction isn't support. It's foresight, anyone outside of the schoolyard, should be able to perceive that. It might be cold next week, I'd rather it wasn't, but what can you do.So you'd maybe support a yearly brexit vote, that would stop when they get the right answer that you prefer.
