Me too, I was on the losing side, that's what democracy is all about, absolutely shameful the way some people are trying to reinvent democracy.

No. a referendum is a single vote on a single issue and those signed up to it agree to abide by the outcome. Politicians trying to stop us leaving are in contempt of the voters.

It would be like the EU telling Ireland to vote again when the voted against something to do with the euro (I think). They said vote again and then a top EU bureaucrat said, "And they will have to keep voting until they get the right result."
Is that what you want?

I work in project management, and for any project you always reappraise the case for doing it at each major juncture.
Things change, more information becomes available, other opportunities arise.

What's absolutely shameful is the way Theresa May is running the country.

Theresa May's deal has been heavily defeated twice in about six weeks, but her attitude appears to be to bludgeon that electorate into accepting it and she won't stop having votes on it until they do - surely that's more a case of democracy being reinvented than wanting to have another vote on a subject that was put to the people of this country nearly three years ago?

I wasn't referring to her deal which may be shite, but the people who are trying yo stop brexit altogether even thought they voted in parliament to trigger article 50 in the first place.
