  1. How dishonest. Why would a second vote be any more valid than the first? Would it be ok then, if having voted to remain in this second referendum, we continued to have referendums on EU membership every year? As obviously whether we stay in the EU or not depends on what direction it's going. Rather like a marriage. Or does that analogy come in to play only when you don't get what you wanted?

  2. Yes, the hysterics will be long forgotten and people will realise that the UK is able to exist without the EU.

  3. Dan Widdon The question was simplistic and binary, because it was a simplistic and binary issue: You are either a member of the EU. Or you aren't. And why would anyone defect to the Limp Dems? After all, it was a Limp Dem leader (Clegg) that first suggested a referendum. 'The European Union has evolved significantly since the last public vote on membership over thirty years ago. Liberal Democrats therefore remain committed to an in / out referendum the next time a British government signs up for fundamental change in the relationship between the UK and the EU.' -Limp Dem 2010 election manifesto We are hearing a lot of 'I respect the result of the referendum, but...'. There is no but. If you don't respect the result of the first referendum, why should anyone respect the results of a second?
