Now that's not strictly true I am aware of individuals who voted leave as a protest vote a midterm protest vote and they have said to me they never expected the referndum to turn out the way it did, I know others admittedly in there late sixties and older who can remember a time before and can see no good in this modern world who again voted leave with the thought of turning the clock back and I know a few who are out and out racists who see anyone who comes into the country as somone either taking their jobs or benifit cheats and I am sure although I have not meet any who voted leave as they thought we would be better off as a country, one thing is sure is that racists, nostalgic seekers and the duped voted leave

No objection to a third referendum. For the sake of fairness and democracy it should be in about 40 years time, to ask whether we should try to rejoin (if there's anything to rejoin by then). Of course, those who think they should get their own way anyway will never agree to such even-handedness, will you ...... sorry, they .......
If you're not able to get your head round it, you're probably a remainer.

Jesus wept! What a load of old stereotyping and bigoted flubber. Even most of your fellow remainers have long since realised that shouting that all leavers are thick old racists makes them look pretty stupid and have moved on. Still, I suppose Potty-mouth Geldof is still a hero to a few.

I don't know the exact figures, but Leigh on Sea will only be a tiny part of an EU constituency (I think East of England) and the fact that the voting system is proportional means that your vote is likely to have more effect than any Parliamentary or Council elections.
Whatever it is you want, go and vote for it.

I'll answer and I'm not even a strong remainer
Genuinely, how many of those that voted leave do you think would have done so if the question was 'remain' vs 'leave with no deal'?
ALL the campaigning for leave was based on an assumption there would be a deal of some kind. ALL of it.
So while I think there are valid arguments for leave (I am all in for a Norway style deal myself), few of those still stand now that it is clear we can't get a deal that would be acceptable to parliament or the majority of the Uk public. There is no WAY 'no deal' would win a public vote. It didn't before and it won't now.
So how the country voted previously is not relevant because it was a vote on an entirely different question - on an option that no longer exists.
(also Farage is a very obviously a greedy, publicity hungry, spivvy, racist tit who should not be allowed out on his own let alone put in charge of anything)

You conveniently didn't comment on the second part of my post, I can only assume you agree? For the sake of fairness and democracy why should a referendum result be implemented when all voters were lied to and mislead, not to mention one campaign breaking the law?

Interesting to see what the turnout for these election is, certainly more interest than ever before.

You argue with careful nuance, impeccable logic and well researched facts.
You are nonetheless completely wrong. The vast majority of those that voted leave thought they were voting for a deal of some kind.
Obviously.
LEAVE MEANS NORWAY + OR POSSIBLY SOME FORM OF TIME LIMITED CUSTOM UNION MAYBE AND IN ALL CASES WITH A BACKSTOP PROVISION TO PROTECT THE GOOD FIDAY AGREEMENT

Yeah, youre right. They were probably swayed by 'easiest deal in history' along with 'they need us more than we need them'. you know the sort of thing. I think its technical term is absolute bollocks.

They didn't, of course - but surely you know remainers know everything, and have the ability to read minds over the internet?

The complete opposite to what you are saying is evident even on NSC. Stop telling lies. I realise its the Leavers way, but please. Dont embarrass yourself.
The pound has dropped due to the markets being concerned about the conservative/labour talks breaking down and leaving the possibililty of a no deal. Is this what Brexiteers really want? Unfavourable trading deals compared to what is already in place, and to cap it all, with a weak currency. Outstanding tactics.
Are there any Brexiteers on NSC brave enough to point out positive scenario's to a no deal Brexit?
