Subject: RE: BS: Time to choose on June 8th-UK Elections
There doesn't seem much prospect of another chance, but that's a political decision, based on the claim that it would be undemocratic to have one. But that just doesn't make sense. Central to the notionf democracy is that we always have a right to change our minds, and vote again.

There are regimes where a once and for all choice is set in stone. We call them dictstorships.

When we buy something, we can always change our minds and take it back, so long ss we don't wait too long. It's set in law. If we get married, we can decide it was a mistake and get divorced. If we decide to get divorced there is a decree nisi to give us a chance to change our inds, before tge final decree. If we elect the wrong government there will always be another election. Typically if we toss for something we'll mak it best of three.

And as has been said, if the vote had been the other way there'd have been demands for a secibd vote - Nigel Farage promised this when the thought the vote had gobe against him.
