You get two years to reach a trade agreement, then thats it - fuck off.<br /><br />Then again, there might be a bit in A50 that allows the invoker to change their minds and call off A50.<br /><br />As for 6)... the brexshitters have been whinging for 40 odd effing years, if they had lost the ref they would still be whinging for the next 40 odd effing years. So as for us grown ups being sore losers, well we have only just begun... the brexshitters can start complaining that we're still moaning in 40 odd + 1 years time.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346534836211090678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-73093498833706393642016-11-27T17:12:17.830+00:002016-11-27T17:12:17.830+00:00Surely, holding a 2nd referendum would enforce any...Surely, holding a 2nd referendum would enforce any faith in Democracy. This is, after all, a seriously major move - not just something on a par with choosing one supermarket over another.<br /><br />Not only a 2nd referendum, but a compulsory vote by all eligible should be instigated. With at least a 60/40 split - if not more. 65/35, say. And maybe even weighting the vote in favour of the young. (No, I'm 70)<br /><br />Whichever way it went, then at least there would be some justification for saying dumb stuff like 'The Will Of The People'.<br /><br />Serious decision in uncertain times. You have to wonder about the hysterical reaction from the Leavers, who would have us cut off and adrift by Xmas if they could.pete cnoreply@blogger.com
