How many referendums do you want Mr McGrath...to suggest that we keep holding them until the result that you want turns up is undemocratic in the extreme and a serious case of political manipulation.

2: Here is what YOU said in reply:

Best of three is the customary way to settle things like that, aken. Seems a reasonable way to go.

Customary: usual · traditional · normal · conventional · familiar · accepted · prevailing · routine · fixed · set · established · confirmed · everyday · ordinary · common · stock · well worn · time-honoured.

"Best of three is the customary way to settle things like that"

Really Kevin? Where and when has that happened then?? An actual real life example would be good start, after all we have only held three nation wide referendums - in all we only got one crack at it.

By the way Kevin in the cases you mentioned in Denmark and in Ireland - their Governments were bullied into holding the second referendums by the EU Commission and the only thing that changed was the question asked on the ballot paper.
