@codefluence If you look at the anti Brexit crowds the average age is around 60.

The government petition for a 'no-deal' Brexit has reached 250 000 and is growing steadily. Let the government know what the people voted for: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/229963

Surely that's not fair. One must assume from the obvious enthusiasm for referendums displayed in this video that, the Financial Times has been an advocate of regular referendums on UK's membership of the EU over the last forty years.

@stanpritchard7436 What made you think I'm a millennial?

@Roy Hawker So why are you telling me all this? I assume I wrote something you disagree with - what is it?

@cjreeve79 How do you (or parliament) know leaving with no deal will "make us all poorer"? I think you must have invented that position to justify a fascist position. In any case, People might not have voted to be richer and you cannot know otherwise. The people voted to 'leave' the EU by 52% in referendum and by 85% in general election... Remain MPs should stand down as their 'vision' has been rejected.

@MightyWhiteLight Good - I voted Leave too.

@cjreeve79 Only a fool would listen to economic predictions in relation to Brexit, as each is A, impossible and, B, politically biased. The term: 'No one voted to be poorer' is propaganda designed to justify opposing the democratic will of the people. Other countries trade with the EU without being subjugate to its courts or parliament, so there is no reason the UK should do the same. There must be a reason why so many EU27 nationals have come to the UK. An uncontested figure for EU27 nationals working in the UK is ‘3 million’ and some argue this benefits the UK economy. But, how much of the money earned in the UK is actually spent in the UK? If we assume that, on average each EU27 person earning pounds in the UK converts 50 pounds each week to euros and this money is spent in the EU27, it equates to the UK economy losing 7.8 billion pounds every year.

@cjreeve79 Your comment is an exercise in sophistry: "No, only a fool would not listen to expert opinion."......Yes, but not on the future, as no one is an expert on what has not happened.... "The whole point of the open trading block, that is the EU, makes us better off." .... What is meant by 'better off' and who will be better off and in what way according to your experts that you claim can see into the future?....."The whole point of the membership fee is to mitigate any exception." This doesn't mean anything. Trade can be free or tariff based as per agreement there is no requirement to be a member of a political federation to trade..... "I don't know about you but I spend most of the money I earn as will other EU workers." ....Here you conflate UK nationals with EU27 nationals and muddle facts. I did not say EU27 workers living in the UK do not spend money, I said they spend much of it in the EU27 at a loss to the UK economy..... "The key advantage of allowing free movement in the EU is that the most resourceful educated people come to work.".... This might benefit employers, but it does not benefit the million+ UK unemployed and underemployed that have to compete for employment, wages and housing...... "We get hard workers for very little training. Lucky us! How do the countries that trained these people benefit? This boosts the economy, which in tern creates more jobs." That should be 'turn' as a 'tern' is a sea bird. It might boost the economy if you ignore the cost of paying UK nationals to rot on the scrapheap in their charity shop interview suits..... "Yes, there are opportunities to be had outside of the EU but they are unlikely to match the benefits of being part of the club."...... Again more supposition that is politically motivated. Have you ever heard a politician saying their policies will make you 'better off'? Well, intelligent people gave up believing empty promises long ago. Oh, and how exactly are we 'better off paying' EU enforced VAT - when in the USA (that trades on tariffs) people pay purchase tax between 2.9% and 7.25%?

@cjreeve79 I did not vote for an upturn in the economy - 'it's the autonomy stupid' - and I did not say EU27 nationals working in the UK did not spend 'most' of their earnings in the UK either. This is what remoaners do - it's called 'strawman argument' - used because they have no valid reasons to oppose Brexit.

@cjreeve79 The political future of the UK is a bigger issue than your fondness for working among other Europeans. You do realise you are a EU citizen? If you believe you are better off in the EU - why don't you go live there? It's 18 degrees in Greece at the moment. I'm not forcing you to have no chosen sovereign homeland - you are attempting to do that to me.

There's no necessity for another referendum, because the people of the UK made a decision that, the UK should leave the EU. The only way this decision can be reversed is with another in/out referendum. However, there's no necessity for another in/out referendum, as the people of the UK already made a decision that the UK should leave the EU.
