Confirmatory Vote

I think there were a lot of lies misleading statements made in the buildup to the referendum, would we be in this mess now if we knew what leaving would mean? I don't know. Whatever is decided, to have or not to have a confirmatory, there will be a lot of very bitter folk who may feel that we have been let down by the politicians. Personally I am being persuaded that a confirmatory is the only way the people can have a say in what we now know is the effect on all of us of leaving the EU.

I too am a remainer and I now think a confirmatory vote is the best way forward. We all know so much more about what leaving the EU will mean. I, too, think leave would win and I would accept that result as one made in full knowledge of the consequences.

Yes I agree with this a confirmatory vote. People can have a vote to what will be the outcome as presented leavers and remainers to bring to a conclusion

No you misunderstand me mycat sorry.

This really isn’t a question about what the vote would eventually be - of course I would love remain- but whether a confirmatory vote could possibly reach out across the huge divide in our country?

It seems to me that the divisions, rather then lessening are becoming ever bigger. My instinct quite honestly is not to have another vote but I am being persuaded that this is the only way forward, without 50% of the country of either side feeling ignored and resentful, and that the democratic process isn’t working.

We voted to leave but not HOW. Now is the time to give consideration how this can be achieved, and achieved in such a way that all sides feel included. No one can get entirely what they want out of it but reconciliation must be a goal.

Haha...good luck with that. ???

I agree with you and I am afraid you will be as a remainder disappointed because I think there will be a far bigger margin to leave.

Not because people’s opinions on Brexit have changed but because so many people are so furious at the incompetence and duplicity of this Parliament.

However I wonder what the question on the ballot paper be? It can’t just be remain or her deal. To not have leave no deal would be very dangerous and put millions out of main stream politics in anger and into the arms of the far right
