Three referendums max would be enough to establish that, but it doesn't exclude the idea that maybe in another number of years, if the political landscape changes, there wouldn't be another opportunity for it to happen.
And if you never get someone winning by more than 5%...? How long does it go on and where is the line drawn?

Wow... What a load of Progressive BullSHIT!
Lol no, that was exactly the opposite of my point, but you obviously can't read so there's no point discussing it. I actually agree with this guy

I'm a leaver, but I want another referendum, and I'd rally all the people I can and make sure the vote ends 55% leave, 44% remain and to boot, Scotland be super remain just to give more drama.Have another referendum and have us vote leave more. We've spoken!
Originally posted by ScribbleWell, you know, we kinda already had a referendum and leave won.

Well, I'll take my statement back, it was wrong. I'm liking being on the other side, though.
Originally posted by BackFireI'm pretty confident she didn't want to do Brexit and was a remainer.
It certainly also doesn't help that Theresa May shit the bed when she called for a snap election and ended up weakening her own position to negotiate Brexit. The whole thing is a huge mess and has been handled very poorly and not been well thought out.
Her job is to delay Brexit as much as possible, imo.

Seems probable. From what I understand very few politicians have any real interest in Brexit. I honestly find it pretty impressive that they are making even weak attempts to do it since it's clear they don't want to.
Originally posted by FoxsteakI know, and I'd like to be on the other side too, but I think it'd be better if more people respected the opposition's right to refute. I would do that if the positions were reversed, although I know few others would. Either way, it's silly digging on the opposition for something you, too, would too, imo. It makes politics all about winning and losing, rather than it being about what it best for the country and its people.

Originally posted by BackFireYeah, I'm not even anti-Brexit (ridiculous how many times I have to say this), I'm just anti-Brexit under this government. They're a bunch of ****ups, with May being the worst of the bunch. I'd have taken a Brexit under Cameron, but May? Yeah, no thanks.

Originally posted by BackFireIt's a very complex process and the plan, I always thought, was to align business more closely with the commonwealth and USA. There are just many factors to consider and no politician really wants to take the blame if it ****s up.
