No need to. We can reverse it possibly. The repercussions are huge, especially for the next generation so why shouldn't we try? Apparently the Germans have started thinking this way.

A good idea Moby, park a couple of tanks from the remain camp outside 10 Downing Street.
Some people, not you, have lost the idea of what Democracy represents.

lets abolish the smoking ban in pubs and pledge to open new pubs across the country.
I'm sure a petition would draw more than the lets have another referendum vote.
From what I have read that petition is rigged anyway.

Officials are investigating whether some of the votes could have been rigged after website data showed more than 39,000 signatories were from the Vatican City, despite the tiny country having a population of 800.

Oops - you play it all tactical and it comes back to bite you on the butt:

Labour were quite rightly very frigntened that in fighting the referendum they might end up with UKIP doing in the North of England what the SNP did in Scotland.

Given that it looked like Remain was always going to win it made sense for labour to campaign form the sidelines leaving the tories to fight each other to a standstill.

However all those calculations look a little silly given the actual result. Or perhaps not, perhaps a remain win with labour having campaigned hard would have reduced the party to a rump in London and party survival was more important than the brexit result?

A 21st century "Peasants Revolt".

More than 60% of Brits live within 20 miles of where they lived when they were 14..... They have spoken.....the rest of us will just have to adjust.

One thing is for sure ..This will blow away a few cobwebs.

I can not believe how bad losers the Remoaners are .

I think a march on London might be called for to show the capital how popular this result is

Equally I've heard comment that the UK does not have the right to disenfranchise passport holders that haven't lived in the UK for more than 15 years. That could tip the balance.

I always found this a weird one.
Either you base your voter eligibility on citizenship or on residence.

Anyway, what's done is done.

Seriously? The government should have had a plan for an exit vote, it's the government who have to invoke Article 50 not the Brexit campaigners and the government should have made preparations in the event of that being necessary. The fact they haven't seems to be complete incompetence.

Were the government so convinced of the result they felt that planning for a possible Brexit wasn't necessary? They spent enough tax payer's money promoting Remain perhaps they should have spent some on forward planning...just in case.

There was a plan. It was to resign and hand the issue over to the people who wanted this result. Presumably those people have a plan, right? We never heard what it was during the campaign but that is because it would have lost them the vote.

No, the remain government didn't have a plan for brexit : they specifically banned our civil service from building a plan.
Maybe we should ban 'remain' politicians from holding office for 25 year for this gross dereliction of duty.
Once we have a brexit governemnt , the civil service and other experts can start to do the serious work.

You are very opinionated for one who didn't follow the camapign:

Leave campaigners have set out a "roadmap" for the UK to "take back control" if it votes to leave the EU.
