Between the two referendums, the EU came back to Ireland and Denmark with guarantees over voters specific concerns, such as abortion. The second referendums took place with policy concessions on the table, so it became a different referendum. That is not the situation here.

Some suffered from one or two of the deficiencies at various times but not all three and not all at once.

I’ll keep on saying it. There are three precedents for a second referendum on Europe: Ireland twice, Denmark once. So “the British people” can and should be offered an opportunity to change their collective mind (with the benefit of facts and a taste of how the 27 will really react) and if they don’t change their collective mind then the answer will be binding. So let’s shout in our millions, “Another referendum!!!”
What I’d give for a real Opposition party…..

All this stuff about the vulnerable TUC rights etc etc is just boring. As is the upsetting of the EU grandees who we all loathe anyway.
You are not near the goal.

Here is the goal – with the goalie looking elsewhere:
If we join EFTA, then we can join the EEA again. Then all our trade will be secure. The negotiations will be focused on how to leave the EU, not on how to continue trading as a “third nation”. As you know the EFTA nations are all part of the EEA in their own right. They have their own court, their own rules on immigration, the freedom to trade all over the world and the right to make their own laws. Each nation sits on international bodies as themselves, not as dictated by the EU.
Mrs May has overlooked this because she is blindly following Mr Cameron who blithely dismissed the “Norway option” as “government by fax”. (When did you last send a fax?)
If you read http://www.eureferendum.com you will soon see that Mrs May is heading for total lockdown. Dr North is the leading expert in the UK on the EU, having studied it now, on detail, for a couple of decades.
For God’s sake act – now – before Mrs May makes a total mess of our country.
