For me, personally, it would be issues like the ability to re- nationalize service industries. I would like an interventionist industrial policy that allows us to subsidize our steel industry without going cap in hand for permission from an EU competition committee. I do not want my vote on...

Likewise, nice to chat with someone who isn’t permanently angry. Up here in Norfolk I do not feel controlled by London or Brussels so I am quite a long way from the views of ppf. My economic views are left of centre so I voted leave as I do not feel that compatible with the capitalist...

Perhaps do your own research ? By continually denying that there is any alternative to the Tory deal you are making yourself look a little silly.

Yes, have a ‘soft border’ with random checks as required by officials on both sides. This is an artificial argument and unlike you I do not accept Theresa May’s argument that there is no alternative.

First we need to pass the Withdrawal Act with a temporary extension of current terms. Then we need to negotiate with the EU backed up by a Parliament that reflects the views of the nation (ie we need a GE) and a PM who actually wants to leave. Then we will no longer be constrained by the people...

This has been done to death on here. There are perfectly acceptable ways to manage the Irish border that do not involve a hard border or potentially ceding economic control of NI to the EU. Don’t forget it was actually Theresa May who wanted the backstop incorporated into the deal. I have a lot...

Someone who actually wishes to leave the EU.

Neither of us can be sure. The claims on both sides are wishful thinking. However we return to my original question on the frequency of these referendums and who decides that enough has changed to hold a new one. There is no mechanism for this so we will enter a phase of multiple votes as each...

Mrs May negotiated a deal that does not actually take us out of the EU. It is really not difficult to understand the reasons it was unacceptable. Mrs May voted Remain.

It’s a binary choice but it excludes many people in this debate. I could equally argue that we have voted to leave so any new referendum should be May’s deal or no deal. The Remainer Speaker in Parliament is quite fond of the idea that previous votes should not be re run once voted upon. The...

It’s only proved impossible because the Tory establishment installed a Remain PM to do the negotiating. Your proposed referendum choices would not be approved by the Electoral Commission because it would exclude the large number of Leave voters who would like to leave with a deal that is not a...

Have you given any thought as to the question you would like to ask in a new referendum?

Not really. We had an in/out referendum and the vote was out. The Tories then installed a Remain PM who negotiated a deal acceptable to no-one. The pitfalls/consequences of which you speak are part of that process. For several decades we have been a part of an EU that changed to a degree that it...

So a new referendum every three years ?
