Subject: RE: BS: We're off, barring an earthquake
(Disregarding that last ignorant intervention by akenaton) Teribus, that was a masterclass in missing the point. There is nothing undemocratic or disgraceful about campaigning for a third referendum. A lot has already changed since last June and a lot more is going to change in the next two years, very likely mostly adversely. Calling for a reconsideration at the end of negotiations, taking into account the intervening ructions in the rest of the world, seems not only legitimate but thoroughly desirable. You are equally entitled to campaign AGAINST a third referendum: in fact, that's kind of what you're doing in your post and whenever you attack Blair for his latest remarks. And as you're so fond of telling us that the British people have spoken, etc., what's so wrong with letting them speak again, as many times as we like? As I asked in my last post, what are you Brexit evangelicals scared of? That the people will misspeak next time?
