Big march dilemma

Well, give us a second vote and find out; simples....

simples indeed - they don't want to, because they know how it would go. Frit.

If anything the Leave vote will have increased now that we can all see how much better off we’ll be, free from the shackles of the EU with Boris in charge - there’s really nothing to be afraid of notanan

Many many ex-leave voters have seen the light.

If the march was people who DID vote leave but NOW want remain, that might have more clout.

There are plenty of them going on the march according to my twitter feed.

The polls are all saying that more people want to remain than leave. So some must have changed their minds...

I don't know any leave or remainers who would vote differently if the vote was repeated tomorrow.

That doesn't mean they don't exist. I know some.

No no - that can’t be right, it’s obvious that leaving is going to be absolutely brilliant (once we’ve got past these bumps in the road in mumble mumble years time)

The government isnt there to pander to whoever shouts loudest.

Well, that's not entirely true. I have seen it claimed that we can't turn back now because there would be rioting from the Leavers...

They haven't even shouted loudly yet, just threatened.

Problem with Remain protests is that they are utterly peaceful. Not the loudest shouters at all. Mind you, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Marches/large gatherings make a difference- Changes may start off small, take shape in unexpected ways, but continue to grow-

From the first day of Arab Spring to today many shifts and changes have taken place- People are realizing what they need and it isnt what corporations and governments are offering-

I've been on several marches. I'm not sure that it makes a difference but, if nothing else, it gives like-minded people some reassurance that they are not alone in feeling as they do.

Personally, I am very pleased that I marched against the invasion of Iraq. It didn't appear to make much difference but I'm glad that I showed my visible opposition to an action that has caused death and misery to several million people.

Jeremy Corbyn’s three most senior colleagues broke with their leader to declare Labour a Remain party, as they were cheered at the giant Westminster rally for a Final Say referendum on Brexit.

John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, Diane Abbott, the shadow home secretary, and Emily Thornberry, the shadow foreign secretary, all made clear Labour’s determination to keep the UK in the European Union.

The speeches prompted chants of ‘Where’s Jeremy Corbyn?’ – to the tune of The White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army, the very chant that symbolised his shock resurgence at the 2017 general election.

I was too ill to go on the Iraq march but my DH was playing in one of the samba bands. Although the government took little notice at the time those who opposed the war have been vindicated.

Apparently 1 million people marched today and there were no arrests.

The pro-EU protesters are peaceful folk.

notanan Leavers don't have to have changed their minds. However, it can't be denied that the electorate has changed over the last three years. A few million have died and a similar number are now old enough to vote. It's also know that a number who didn't vote last time would vote if given a second chance.

The "new" voters are those whose lives will be affected most because, statistically, they have more years to live.
