'Gagging' for yet another referendum...? I doubt it.

I don't think turning back now is politically acceptable. As the country is split, half of the population would be in revolt.

I think it's a waiting game. We need to be vigilant about the way the government wants to make a bonfire of EU regulations and challenge them. It would be helpful if we had an effective opposition.

As people see that there are no solutions which will satisfy the majority of them, they might very well be gagging for a second referendum in 18 months.

People need to change their own minds rather than having solutions imposed.

It's a mess, which could have been avoided!

As an arch REMOANER I for one (of many) will not simply roll over and say that is that. As things progress at the very least parliament must ensure that the country does not Brexit in a bad way because of "The Will of the People". So many lies were told by both side at the time of referendum that when the full facts come to light a re-think should be considered.

I have yet to hear a sound reason for voting LEAVE. Of course the EU is far from perfect but we are better trying to change it from within than sniping from outside. A general election or second referendum before the point of absolute no return.

I happen to be visiting Brussels on an educational trip after Easter so until then I will put up and shut up unless really provoked.
