Thread Name: BS: UK: Petition to Parliament re Brexit
Subject: RE: BS: UK: Petition to Parliament re Brexit
Now knowing what Brexit will and is already bringing about in Britain, that is an exercise in gross lemmingism Stanron
It is utterly undemocratic to refuse the British people the right to confirm or reject the previous decision based on what they now know
Lat night the BBC announced that a survey has shown that many leavers have now changed their mind and now wish to remain in Europe and that, if the referendum was re-run there would be a clear majority to stay
If that is true, then it would be the cabinet, not the British people who would take Britain out of Europe
Even if it were only a possibility, any country describing itself "democratic" are obliged to test it
An Government who hides behind Government drawn up laws to refuse the British people a choice on such a decision as this has to be considered an oppressive power
