If i ask you do you want a or b and you say a, is it fair to you to wait 36 months and then use the wait as an excuse to say it has been a long time and my original question was not well worded and i want to ask you again along with other more detailed questions? Then what prevents me crom coming back to you in 360 months and asking you again? 720 months?

What game are you playing with your suggestion?

Brexit is decided. I suggest we Consider honoring the decision that is already made. There is no way back that does not involve a fundamental shift in how the brits view their government and vice versa- only parlor tricks to deceive the weak minded in hopes that others will give in without some form of revolt.

But it wasn’t “do you want A or B”

The referendum was “Out of the 100 of you, do you want to go to another restaurant or stay in this restaurant?”

And 52 voted “let’s leave”

But then the follow-up question was “So leave and do what?”

The 52 who voted leave had a number of ideas (as it was so vague) - but now, after twaddling their thumbs for 3 hours, they want to vote again — and logically it needs to be clear, even for the 52.

It should be “you want to leave this restaurant and go to another? Yes or no” — and let’s assume 52 again vote “leave”. The next question is “which other?”

Or, let’s take it your way and remove the “you want to leave this restaurant and go to another” and make it

“Ok, three hours ago, 52 of you voted to leave this restaurant, we’re going to leave but you need to decide what you want to do:

Option 1: go to the outcourt and get the food from this restaurant, pay the same price but you get a set menu with no decisions

Option 2: The Northern Irish 5 folks stay here and chose what they like. The rest of us leave and decide outside

Option 3: we all leave, including the northern Irish and we decide outside.”

And Option 3 is your no-deal. Most of the 48 folks who voted to stay will choose option 1. Some of the 52 may choose option 1. Either way, option 1 - May’s Deal will win if you don’t have the two layer question I outlined.

do you really want that?

And “Brexit is decided” is not true — haven’t you followed the entire soap opera over the past 3 months in the UK?

What is only voted was “we’ll have a Brexit. What type? err.. let’s fight over what type”

The 52/100 who voted to leave the restaurant had different views on what to do next - so Brexit is most certainly not decided. That’s why the UK is tying itself in knots
