There is no fundamental right and principle involved in the UK having another referendum. Referendums are not part of our parliamentary constitution and nor are the decisions of a given parliament binding forever on future parliaments. Clearly, the position now with the options and implications for leaving the EU is radically different from what was commonly understood at the time of the 2016 vote. If Rees-Mogg can change his mind so can a country. It also needs to be remembered that the Leave campaign is still under criminal investigation and leave only received 35% support from the UK adult population (that is excluding EU migrants, of course).

@nhsgp Why would leavers pay less tax? They’re the ones that want to massively hurt the economy.

Very fascist to demand that democracy is revoked.

What’s needed is consent.

You and fellow remainers say yes, you get your maroon passport with stars, and EU citizenship.
Leavers get blue passports and no EU citizenship.

Then that information is sent to HMRC.

Your tax code is adjusted so you and fellow citizens pay the EU and all the subsidies.
For leavers, the same happens except their tax codes are adjusted down, because they don’t give consent to pay.

So those young internationalists get what they want. Leavers get what they want. Everyone is happy.

You even get freedom of movement. EU nationals can come here, go onto welfare, get all the state services etc. But remainers like yourself, and only remainers, get the bill.

You can’t force others do do what they don’t want to do.

So do you believe in consent?
