Agree. Been far too much of that procrastination, delaying and scuppering.

They didn’t think the electorate would do what they did. That’s the problem. Remain thought it was an open goal tap in. And that is why the shit has hit the fan. A rerun is just the electorate being told to go away think about it and vote the right way next time ok? The EU has previous form for acting like this.
Yep. Waiting for Brexiters to actually tell us what Brexit they all voted for is is getting increasingly tedious. The urge to take it away from them until they can decide between them is understandably growing hugely.
No, a rerun is now saying to the public "Right, when you said this it turns out this is what you were voting for. Are you absolutely sure this is what you want to do?"
Why don't you believe the public deserve a chance to rethink based on new information? Don't you rust them to return the result you want?

How is it patronising? Given the deal goes against what the Leave campaign promised last time around it's only right and fair to make sure people are happy with that change.
Asking for confirmation of things once they've been done before following through with them happens in every single walk of life. Nobody ever rants about "Reviewing your order" on Amazon as being patronising.

Have they? Please give examples of this, and please don't say Ireland or Greece.

With the passage of time that becomes ever stronger. It was never going to happen though whomever was PM. The mentality and ego combination being 'I am PM and I will go down in history for delivering brexit' being overwhelming.
Its still happening. The 27 might have more respect for us if a PM were to say, we are now going to have a collaboration attempt and set up a cross party committee to hopefully come to a final approachable proposal. It would probably fail but would show that everything had been explored.
It's the same principle. Are you happy with your choice? If people are, like you, then no problem, we leave with the negotiated Withdrawal Agreement. But if people are not they have the right to change their minds.
After all, in 2016 people who voted Leave were promised seamless trade with everyone from Iceland to Russia, now they aren't even being offer seamless trade from Stranraer to Belfast. Leave have moved the goalposts, so Leavers have the right to change their minds. It's how everything else works in life.

It says more about you in the first place, because the reoccurring theme with you on the thread is you're unable to put any any coherent, explanatory responses to any question put to you other than post up pictures of ballot papers and use meaningless soundbites.
It's nice you try to join in though. You're a a bit like Ppf, but you've moved onto to be able to do Google image searches, rather than break colouring in pencils.

So you don't believe people who want to Remain should be given the opportunity to do so? How undemocratic.

Do you not believe people should be allowed to change their mind?

Theresa May had a last ditch attempt at this when she realised she was losing her leadership. She agreed to meet Jeremy Corbyn, but word came out, she wouldn't listen to a single word that was said.
