Do you want another EU Referendum?The binary vote was not only flawed but the leave vote was heavily influenced by wealthy international people who have vested interests in making more wealth. The underlying influences are now under investigation. The leave result is clearly not in the nations best interests, and it is most unfortunate that so many people have yet not realised the full implications of their Leave vote. The leave campaign was disingenuous to say the least. We have always had control of our borders for example, and the Home Secretary at the time had power to manage border control, but chose not to. It was evident by the chaotic attempts following the vote to gain some control of the situation that the government had not expected the leave vote to win, however marginally. Since then we, as a populous have been treated as though we are less intelligent than the government, and meaningless platitudes such as 'brexit means brexit' have been used to undermine any debate. It is very disappointing that those of us who have enjoyed over 40 years of peace in our country, chose overwhelmingly to vote leave presumably without care nor thought of our grandchildren and great grandchildren. A referendum for a second time might change the outcome, if it is left long enough many of us will be beyond caring. It was a very sad day for our country when the lemmings jumped.
