You may have heard about the UK’s decision to leave the EU. Hell, you might even be one of the lovely people who voted for it. It’s tough out there for you Brits; no one knows what is going on. Even your political pundits aren’t shocked anymore.

Why would you want to go to Europe after this? Forget that package holiday to Benidorm, who needs it? Try something a little further afield. We understand. Our prime minister changes almost daily, but we’re relaxed. That’s because it’s so bloody beautiful over here. No dramas – just palm trees, sparkling shores and rad waves.

Webjet Australia are here to help so you don’t have to stay and deal with the no deal. Get out of the rain and come on over to sunny Australia on one of our $1 international flights, departing daily from all major UK cities!

        @c0balt: That's what I thought you were referring to. You said "a form" so how is anyone to know what you're referring to?
        
        One was a referendum. The other is an online petition that wasn't publicly advertised nor notified by post to every household - but it is the highest placing and fastest accumulating UKGP Petition of all time. The Petition in response to not revoke has achieved 170k in contrast :) You can't argue it's the same sample size or in anyway reflective of each other.
        
        The people from the UK that I've spoken to about Brexit have wanted this for a long time.
        
        And the people I actually know in the UK, because I um-yeah actually lived over there for a period of time, don't share the same opinion as those you've spoken to. Scotland and NI are pretty much united now as they didn't realise the impact Brexit would have on them.
        
        Second referendum is very possible. Not even the people who voted in favour of Brexit want a no-deal exit. We shall have to wait and see.

        Wrong! Citation please? See how that works.
        
        "No deal" is the most popular of the various Brexit options:
        
        44% No deal
        30% Some form of deal
        25% Don't know
        
        Source: ComRes survey 10/03/2019
        
        In other polls May's Chequers Plan got 7% when compared to all options.

        Can't refute that logic as it's c0balt's logic!
        
        Not even the UK Gov wants a no deal situation.

        Not really, your comment is a bit incoherent.
        
        The data I provided is in response to your comment:
        
        Not even the people who voted in favour of Brexit want a no-deal exit.
        
        Which is incorrect. You linked to a petition that did not refute.

        @rokufan: Why aren't the other 16.8 million voting on the petition? We'll just have to assume they don't want a No deal scenario.
        
        My logic is as sound as c0balt's arguments.

        @c0balt: That's not even close to how it works. You are comparing two numbers that aren't comparable in the slightest. Of course the referendum will have a higher count. The petition isn't even trying to match that number.
        
        If you want to try a more appropriate comparison, lets see if this petition or this one or this one reach even 1 million signatures, let alone 6 million.

        @rokufan: My point is a direct response to c0balt's claim that "the people are still overwhelmingly in favor of Brexit as witnessed by less people signing a form to remain in the EU than voted for it originally."
        
        I also take issue with the idea that the result from 3 years ago should be used as justification for not holding another vote today, when all signs from today suggest that another vote could easily return a different result. You and @c0balt are basically saying that the will of the people today should be ignored because you prefer the result from 3 years ago.
        
        How it is somehow "against democracy" to let the voice of the people be heard today is beyond me.
        
        rokufan on 01/04/2019 - 17:20
        
        @mekktor: I replied to a comment elsewhere with a scientific poll that backed c0balt's claim. Exactly 52%, same as the vote 3 years ago.
        
        More than half (52%) of respondents, including nearly three-in-ten Remainers (28%), agree that petitions calling for the UK to remain in the EU are irrelevant compared to the official result of the 2016 EU Referendum, compared to 30% who disagree

        "How it is somehow "against democracy" to let the voice of the people be heard today is beyond me."
        
        We will be having an Australia federal election in May 2019. Shall we have another in June for the sore losers? July? etc.? Or anytime public opinion swings against the government? Do you really need the importance of democratic votes being respected explained to you? The second referendum argument is expedient and made in bad faith.

        @rokufan: And that might be a valid argument, if it actually said what you say it does. Funny how the survey never actually asks how the people would vote today. No surprise, give it was performed for a group called "Leave Means Leave".
        
        Even I am part of that 52% as it's worded there. Of course the official result is more relevant than the petitions. That's why the petition count shouldn't be compared to the referendum count in order to determine whether or not the UK leaves, which is what c0balt was trying to do. But you know what's even more relevant than either of those things? The referendum result if it were held today. And maybe the petition is an indication that a new referendum is needed.
        
        Are you seriously going to suggest that overturning a 3 year old non-binding referendum is comparable to overthrowing our government every month? Come on…

        Actually, the poll is indeed relevant as it shows a 52% majority want Brexit to be delivered even if they disagree with the referendum result. Apparently, at least a small number of remainers still believe in democracy. A straight up and down poll today to leave the EU is irrelevant as we've already had that vote in 2016. Today, the majority of people want the politicians to get on with it and deliver.

        I did not say "overthrowing", that's your dramatic language - I said holding repeated votes based on swings in polls, the case remainers are making here. Tell me, are you aware of any referendum in the Western world where the result was ignored and not implemented? Do you think disenfranchising 52% of voters has no consequences? No concern increasing people's already high level of cynicism regarding politics, reinforcing the view the elite run the show and little people should know their place, that the system is rigged?

        Why not? It ought to be. With some actual idea of the withdrawal treaty, and the economic affects that may come from actually leaving the Union, they ought to have a new referendum to determine if it is the people's will, and what that will is.
        
        Do they want May's deal?
        Do they want a Custom's Union?
        Do they want a hard Brexit?
        Do they want to revoke Article 50?
        
        When the UK Parliament can't even decide due to factional splits, it's better off letting the people decide. They've already let the cat out the bag with the referendum in the first place.

        ComRes interviewed 2,030 GB adults online between 22nd and 24th March 2019. Data were weighted to be demographically representative of all
        GB adults by age, gender, region and social grade. Voting intention questions were also weighted by past vote recall and likelihood to vote and all other questions also weighted by 2016 EU Referendum results. ComRes is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules. https://www.comresglobal.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/LML-…

        @Typical16-bitEnjoyer: My point is correct, Parliament, including May and most of the Tory coalition government are remainer termites who have manufactured this chaos.
        
        "…Leaving without a deal would risk uncertainty for the economy, for business and for citizens…"
        
        Yes and I believe the risks are massively overstated, part of Project Fear. An orderly no deal Brexit on WTO rules is perfectly acceptable.
        
        All the benefits spouted to the public to vote for leaving the EU would be thrown out the window.
        
        Most of the benefits are regarding free trade deals outside the EU, which would be unaffected by a hard Brexit. A soft Brexit is likely to bar such deals.

        @rokufan: Your arguments make so sense.
        
        The government did not fearmonger the public into voting for Brexit, according to you, yet that same government is now apparently, according to you, fearmongering the public to not consider a No deal exit?

        @Typical16-bitEnjoyer: Actually you're not making sense and judging by this comment don't know much about the debate.
        
        "Project Fear" is what the remainer campaign was dubbed. It was to fearmonger the public to vote against Brexit, not for it. For example, when David Cameron, a remainer, said Brexit could spark WW3 with Russia.
        
        The government is not one. It is consists of a majority of remainers (including May), with a minority of Brexiteers. This is why many suspect the process was chaos by design to undermine the whole process and overturn the result.

        Government responded - "…Leaving without a deal would risk uncertainty for the economy, for business and for citizens…"
        
        ..and is the view still held in the current debates in recent days.
        
        Your response
        
        An orderly no deal Brexit on WTO rules is perfectly acceptable.
        
        Yeah, says who besides you? Definitely nobody important.
        
        Your arguments are nonsensical. End of story.

        Actually that’s exactly what Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson did. Got too hard and left.
        
        The number of lies told about Brexit, how easy it would be to exit, the UK would have the upper hand in negotiations, they’d be allowed to stay in the free market etc was breath taking. I’m sure with all the new information and difficulty seen in actually trying to get out of this, remain would win comfortably in another referendum.

        @Randolph Duke: At the end of the day, I'm happy with the result and would be very unhappy if leftists manage to cry their way into another vote. That's not how democracy works. You respect the will of the people and the results of a vote and more forward, not backwards.
        
        If you guys want to keep beating the dead horse and use all those mental gymnastics to try and worm Britain back into the EU then by all means, continue to be sore losers and disregard that democracy in action found 17.4 million people (the majority vote) voted against what you believe to be right. It's almost like you need to keep the fires of division burning, rather than try to more forward together.

        @c0balt: “You respect the will of the people and the results of a vote and more forward, not backwards.”
        
        Except we’ve voted on the same things before e.g. becoming a republic. And it’s not like we don’t vote on a recurring basis for our government and things previously implemented get overturned.
        
        It’s not about crying leftists (and imagine my shock “lefitists” got used), it’s about people lying how easy it would be to leave the EU and what sort of deal the UK could get, when in reality it’s a complete shitshow. People were delusional enough to promote & believe the EU would allow UK to remain in the free market. It’s beyond laughable people thought this was an option. UK wants a Brexit with all the benefits of being in the EU and with none of the freedom of movement - was never, ever going to play out like that, and people can see that now.
        
        The conservatives can’t even agree what sort of Brexit they want, and the people weren’t given any option. Now the public can actually see how tough this is they can make a more informed choice. It should have 2 questions:
        
        Remain - yes/no
        What sort of Brexit do you want - hard/soft

      That's exactly what they are saying.
      
      Remoaners: "Leave voters are dumb or evil, or both."
      Democrats: "Trump voters are dumb or evil, or both."

        @rokufan: And in both cases I bet a fair chunk of the voters didn’t know what they were getting. The Democrats took the House next time the voters had a crack at it. Obviously they knew what Trump was like then.
        
        Given the Brexiteers are so sure they are in the right why not go for another vote, it will be the same result, won’t it, and then they can say they absolutely have a mandate.

        You can say that about just about every vote or decision, humans have not yet developed omniscience.
        
        At least in the UK and US they have voluntary voting, which likely means the better informed are voting.
