We had a referendum.
37% of voters stated that they would like to leave the EU.

They won, that's what. I voted remain not leave, but I also believe that there has to be a genuine reason (like I outlined above) to have a second referendum, i.e. something that changes the circumstances and conditions upon which the first referendum was based.posh*spice wrote: »We had a referendum.

Won what? It was never a legally binding referendum. It could have been but it was deliberately written so it wasn't .
In order to leave the EU the MPs need to vote for it? Do you think Boris can swing this?Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.0 -

I don't know if Boris would be fully motivated to do so, it depends on how he thinks it would affect his chances of becoming the next PM, that will be his priority.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

You've got to be in it to win it. If the first 3 in the betting are withdrawn from the grand national, and the 4th fav finished first (and weighs in), did that horse win the grand national? Yes it did.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -
