On purely Party lines, yes.

Personally? Just bin the cancerous mess.

The more that concern grows, and Treeza sees votes melting away, the more likely it becomes.

Personally, I'm with Stooo on this one. It would take a huge amount of courage, but common sense says it's a disaster. Dump the whole idea, and honestly explain why.

If there is another vote does that mean you now trust all the 'thick racists' to 'know what they are voting for' now?

Not liking brown people who come from Commonwealth countries should not be a reason for leaving our most lucrative market.

At one stage I believed in respecting the vote but frankly the longer this entire thing has gone on, the less confident I am that people knew what they were voting for and I believe the blind following of it by this shithole of a Government is leading to disaster.

Cancel it.

I don't think that most people knew exactly what they were voting for.

I believe that reality is beginning to dawn, especially in households where the weekly budget doesn't stretch anymore, or the jobs are under threat.

It is a given that people voting in a general election sway towards the party that appears (or at least claims) to make them personally better off. Big picture goes out of the window in favour of personal greed. I believe that as the unicorns and fairy dust promises slowly evaporate many will realise that a bird in the hand in the form of a decent paid job, low inflation, economic growth etc trumps a vague promise of two birds in the bush.

Thankfully, some of which are deceased.

And if "vote leave" won again?
Would people respect that?

You didn't read the question (again...)

The vote on THE DEAL isn't divided on Leave / Remain lines, it's a vote on whether the deal negotiated by Davis is acceptable.

If it is, fine - we leave for Planet Unicorn.

If not, it remains for our government to decide on a course of action.

Based on their decision making on Brexit so far, I strongly suspect that's the real reason they don't want a vote. So much so, they would rather herd us all off a cliff.

Respect what? Why in your world does opposition to something have to go away when people vote one way. I assume by your standards when Blair won in 1997, the Tories should have gone home for the next five years?

"
How long would one have to respect it for? How long did Farage, Goldsmith, Sked etc respect the previous vote? 16 years? Can you recall a British politician who said, If it finishes 52-48 there'll be unfinished business"?

They doubtless said the same at BMW Mini, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, The Square Mile and many other large multinationals.

The CBI said a growing number of companies were making plans based on the assumption that Theresa May’s government would fail to strike a deal with the EU.

During a Foreign Office reception to celebrate the Queen’s birthday last week, the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson was asked about the fears of some business leaders over Brexit and replied: “fuck business.”

That tells us all we need to know about the utterly ruthless dogma being pursued by elements of Maybot's cabinet.

They literally don't give a fuck about the prosperity of the country, and certainly not the ordinary man in the street.

They have their own agenda, personal profit, and it appears that they are happy to throw us under a bus to achieve it.
