"They always say we should ask the average person. Do you have any idea how stupid the average person is? We have labels on bleach telling you not to drink it. Take those labels off for two years, then let's have a referendum"
- Ricky Gervais (somewhat paraphrased but that was the gist of it, from his Humanity tour)
It would be interested to know what would happen if there was another referendum. The result could well go the other way which makes a nonsense of all the "you lost, get over it, the people have spoken" bullshit.
Personally although I think leaving is a mistake I don't think the sky will fall in and I honestly don't want to go through all that again. A referendum on any proposed deal with the EU would make more sense as none was on the table at the time of the first referendum. But what if "the people" reject that? Then where do we go.
I think we're just going to have to let them get on with it now. Lucky we have such a competent team dealing with it.
