When have we relied on referendums?
We've relied on national votes to decide for decades Jack. The public were led to believe they were being given a choice on the EU and a national vote on it took place, just like a general election takes place. If they renege on it, what next? Renege on elections, just some candidates or maybe local elections?
Not liking the result or the msm exploiting the situation with threats from corporations, who can see compensation/grants or savings ahead, claiming that it's just Brexit that is the reason are not reaosns to run the viote again. We never have done for anything in the past and shouldn't start now.
Just think, do you really trust the word of corporations? Look at their track record. They want a corporate world and that corporate world has delivered us the situation we are in now. More of it won't cure it, JC or not. Corporations can and will have power to sue governments for reducing their profits through policies or any other action. Is that what we want?
I see two stages for reversal. One, out of the EU. The second, rid of the Tories and put a true Labour government in power.
When bubbles go pop in the stock market, the money will all disappear as usual and government will be left to pick up the pieces. Not everything that is shiny is gold.
