If there is a second referendum ...

The EU is going to break up after it goes into a big recession and the populists take over, so why would anyone vote to stay attached to that mess?

This is definitely what the hard line Brexiteers want.



It's the only way of being certain that the EU won't eclipse the UK economy in the future. That way, they can always say they were right even if the UK tanks.

It is the EU that is tanking just now though?

Read this part out loud and see if you can spot the flaw in it.

Can`t find it. Maybe you believe in just having vote after vote until the vote goes your way? Not practical or right in a democracy, sorry. Remainers are just going to have to satisfy themselves with spitting bile for a while, like Mr Tusk :rotfl:

Yep, anytime now.
Just like that long awaited HPC.

There's evidence that leave voters tended to be older than remain voters. There's evidence older people tend to be more right wing. There's evidence that leave voters tended to have lower educational qualifications (not necessarily the same as being thick of course). It's a fairly safe bet that someone meeting the three criteria of old, thick & racist voted leave.

Count your blessings. If old, thick racists voted remain the result would've been different.

It's nearly three years since the referendum - it's probably been covered before.

No there isn't! Only votes are counted, not who voted or any other distinction made as you should know. What there is are a few polls where some random people were asked, and besides the little fact that polls aren't accurate (as the referendum clearly showed) we all know that people lie. A quick look at most remainer posts here will show you that.

Polls are far from random. They may have got the referendum result wrong, but they were only a few % out. Its quite amazing how close they get. I don't know how they do it, but I do know that a lot of expertise goes into it.

We clearly will never know a full breakdown of who voted which way, but some clear trends are evident - and anyone in touch with reality and not stuck in a leave or remain bubble can tell what these trends are relating to class/education/age etc

But given your approach to just insulting the other side, I imagine you're one of those in a bubble so you will never see the picture from a balanced perspective.

Oh please, it's plain to see that those insulting are most frequently remainers. You're insult of my supposedly being "in a bubble" is a great example and was completely unnecessary.
Pot meet kettle.

There are those on both sides who use insults. Not me.

You specifically accused all remainers of behaving in a certain way so I accused you of being in a bubble. I call people out on *both* sides for treating all leave/remain voters as the same. see post number 1633 for evidence.

Yes may be I insulted you, criticised would be more accurate, but I criticised you personally not all leavers whereas you are directing all your criticism/insults at all remainers. Big difference.

There's no actual evidence supporting remainers claims that leavers are old, thick racists either but you cling to that theory like a limpet.

There is pretty definitive evidence that leavers are disproportionately old, not the other stuff.

The population is proportionately growing older.

Likewise has lived the entire EU dream, or nightmare depending on your point of view.
