Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

There is a rumour in the Labour Party that Corbyn McDonnell both voted leave. It is only a rumour but I want to believe it.

EU Referendum Rules triggering a 2nd EU Referendum

We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum.

161,547 so far

Parliament will consider this for a debate

Parliament considers all petitions that get more than 100,000 signatures for a debate

Seems a bit late. Talk about changing the goal posts...

Might be useful for a possible Scottish referendum.

No such rule as far as I know, it was a straight majority one way or the other.

Anyway, tell em to Foxrot Oscar.

Perhaps they are referring to a Scottish referendum. The SNP will support it I'm sure. :0

The referendum will go down in history that Cameron leader and Right wing of the Tory Party were responsible for exiting the EU in 2016.


Wow and there was me thinking it was the 17 million odd who voted out that were responsible.

At least he did the decent thing Fred unlike that clown Corbyn and while we're at it Carwyn Jones is looking a bit of a clown too after claiming he was going to be straight on the phone this morning to negotiate directly with Brussels if we left. Well Carwyn you haven't got a mandate for that ... Wales voted out.

I blame the Welsh for us leaving :-)

Well done all the leave voters. :-))

I love the Welsh! :0) (Apart from that twat Fred)

Here is a better petition. Share.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/123324

The 23 June should be designated as Independence Day, and celebrated annually.

If we leave the EU, the UK will be an independent country for the first time since 1974

Dil.

Reread what I posted.

2nd referendum???????????????????
oh hahaha!
that would make a mockery of the whole democratic process ....... imagine doing that the day after a GE because you didn't like the result

224,992 signatures for second referendum

There are more idiots that I thought.

Just disgruntled lefties with nothing better to do with their time.

Will parliament try to foil Brexit?

Even after a general election most MPs would favour Remain. They need a way to balance their consciences with the will of the people

The Times has estimated that about 160 of the 650 MPs elected last year want Britain to leave the EU. The overwhelming majority of Westminster MPs believes that leaving would be a mistake. Many believe it would be a very grave mistake. Not a few believe it would be calamitous.

But parliament did vote to hold a referendum on the question — and, by implication, to respect its result. This is clear. What can never be known is how many of those parliamentarians thought it seriously likely the plebiscite would result in an instruction to leave the EU. I certainly didn’t.

Well I was wrong. We know now. And in due course, as Britain’s exit proceeds, there will be crucial Commons votes. What are Remain Tory MPs to do? Break faith with the referendum they voted for, in many cases too lightly? How dare they. Or break faith with what their own judgments and conscience tell them are where the interests of constituents and country lie? How could they?

Leave that hanging while we examine what will happen next.

Sometimes in politics a kind of inevitability gathers around a course of action, without any single, simple reason requiring it. The need for a fresh electoral mandate will gain momentum in this way.

Fred I copied what you posted what did I miss ?

It's us who are responsible not him personally and that's what democracy is all about.

Don't think we'll be the last ones to leave either unless there is a radical overhaul of the way the EU is run.

ı awaıt the stıtch up by most of the 650 wastrels ın Parlıament. Glorıfıed shop stewards all of them sınce Maastrıcht, Amsterdam, Nıce. and Lısbon treatıes. Gutless wonders spoutıng off about economıc benefıts as UK was hollowed out. So all thats left was money shufflıng.
