1. Just have a re-vote already.

I absolutely do not understand the stubborn determination to go forward with a referendum that would probably be resoundingly reversed with another vote.

This is a tyranny of the minority, and we've seen where that gets us in the United States.

3. Or simply have a new vote with the proposed plan that details the pros and cons and people can vote

to accept the plan or reject it and stay in the EU but also put the accept threshold at a minimum of 60% that way it will be a clear majority that want to leave the EU.

4. That would be good, too.

I just think that this vote does not reflect the view of most people in Great Britain (and it really does not reflect the wishes of people in Scotland).

Why are they so tied to doing what people don't want?

6. Could be for a number of reasons but in the end the usual two are money and or power.

Either they are looking to make more money or they are afraid of losing it same for power.

5. they will never have a revote. may and her halfwit torys would get their asses handed to them.

they know know that the sentiment in Britain is overwhelming against brexit.

come the end of march, Britain leaves the EU without a plan and face plants economically.

Scotland holds a referendum and leaves GB. Northern Ireland sides with Scotland and leaves GB also after a their own referendum. Ireland steps in and says to NI, "hey, we're still part of the EU, just join us" and the north does.

Britain is caught completely flat footed and suffers a massive economic crash.

out goes may, out goes the tory majority, incomes a labor coalition to renegotiate entrance into the EU.

the torys suffer such a massive defeat, that they will never see any sort of real power for years, if ever again.
