First things first, and I cannot stress this enough – I am not at all sure what is best for the UK - I wish I did.
Secondly, the people voted in 2016 to leave and that is what the government has negotiated to do.
The opposition claim that it is a bad deal and will try to vote it down.
However, it seems to me that having listened to various European leaders over the last few days – “the deal IS the deal and there is no possibility of a “better deal” for the UK” being agreed upon”.
The Remainers are not happy, are calling “foul” and are demanding another so called “people’s vote” (implying by the way that the referendum vote in 2016 wasn’t voted on by “the people”).
We will have to wait to see if the deal is passed in the UK Parliament and indeed if a cancellation of Article 50 is an option.
Let’s assume the Remainers get their way and there is a second “so called” peoples vote.
Self evidently, two outcomes of that vote are possible – (1) the majority vote LEAVE OR (2) the majority vote REMAIN.
So, what will the Remainers do if (1) above is the democratic outcome of the vote – will they accept the result this time?
And if the democratic outcome is (2) above will the Leavers not have a justifiable case for saying to the Remainers – “you didn’t accept the first vote so why should we accept the result of this one”.
