Tell that to everyone who campaigns for a change of government during general elections (every 5 years). The notion that the people shouldn't be allowed to change their minds is the most undemocratic thing I've heard in this whole debate.https://twitter.com/JuliaHB1/status/971713817909628930 …

Campaigning to change a government after they’ve been in office isn’t the same as campaigning to stop that government from ever taking power even after they were elected by a majority, which is the equivalent of what you’re trying to do with the Brexit result.
-
It seems to be that
@Femi_Sorry is advocating offering people a choice based on facts not the choice previously offered based on a pack of lies and mis information. -
Yawn, heard it all before. We all knew what we were voting for
-
With all due respect, don’t really think you can speak for all Leave voters can you? The majority of people (prior to the referendum) had no meaningful awareness / knowledge / insight re: implications of
#Brexit on Northern Ireland. Indeed, never even got brought up in debates! -
We have now had the facts thrust at us ad nauseam and I still want to leave the EU.I don't know of any leave voters who don't.
-
You’re entitled to this view. And if your sure of your point then perhaps you should give everyone the privilege of allowing them to make a choice based on fact as you have now done.

A 'democratic' vote on one day in time in an advisory referendum brought about by infighting in the Tory party. A referendum based on lies & false promises won with the slimmest of majorities, carried out by a Gov't with no plan or idea as to what the vote meant, naughty us!

17 million people depriving all 67 million of us of our rights & opportunities while denying a vote to Brits in EU is not democratic. Nor is denying Parliament a vote to exit Brexit if, having seen what Brexit means, it's not good for the nation as a whole.
-
That's right. My 5yr old was not consulted and did not vote so the referendum is void
-
17 million got off their arse and voted , it seems the rest if the intellectual “majority” could not be bothered

It was free and democratic, yes. However, two points: (1) it was only advisory, and (2) it was democratically deficient because there was no requirement for a two-thirds majority.
-
The referendum also did not address the means by which we leave the EU. The result is now being interpreted as a mandate for the hardest of hard Brexits, where no such mandate exists.

Dear Julia, only a fool could deny that Brexit's a f**k up of epic proportions. We didn't need the change. It's self-imposed economic & societal ruin. The country's bitter & divided + negotiations are all over the shop. In short, it's an unworkable disaster just waiting to happen
-
If the country is bitter and divided it's because Remainers, in their arrogance, refuse to accept the democratic decision.
