        Lol and any party that does might as well not bother standing at next election. The day politicians ignore the public is the day we are no better than N Korea dictatorships

        Nonsense. What about other countries that had 2nd referendums not long after the first, eg. Ireland + Denmark. Are they "no better that N Korea" then?

        Denmark is one of most democratic countries there is. EU dictatorship is a nonsense.

        Voters cannot be wrong, they can only vote. There was a vote. I voted remain and in our system lost the vote. Politicians are there to work out a way to leave in the best possible circumstances. They should get on with it.

        I wasn't able to vote at the time for medical problems but now I would vote leave. And that is looking at evidence available now. And you are right about democracy. Although it already seems to have died. 😢

        If MP’s are permitted to ‘acknowledge that voters were wrong’ then frankly there isn’t any point in us voting for anything ever again. Elites uber alles. Thanks very much.

        Voting should only take place when all the facts are available - this did not happen before the referendum . Also all British citizens should have been able to vote - British Citizens living in the EU were denied a vote - thus the referendum was undemocratic.

        We were absolutely correct about leaving the EU. The only problem we have is with political journalists who side with the elite & their agenda. The people of Britain will not give in to scaremongering & threats! We’re leaving!🧐👍🤟✌️🖕

        Calling the EU referendum was a cowardly act from a PM too scared to stand up to a handful of back benchers, taking the power away from the elected and handing it to the media to play on misguided fears. Time for MPs to redress Cameron's folly.
