If new facts emerge - yes a 3rd vote would be warranted. But frankly that’s why we elect politicians to represent us and to put matters of national importance through rigorous consideration and debate. So as much as Eurosceptics frown upon it and call this undemocrstic - this is democracy in action - parliament holding the government to account.
By the way, approx 2m of the 17m who voted for Brexit amost 3 years ago are probably dead. Statistically speaking.

I think we're going round in circles now. I've explained my view clearly enough.

That might well be true and if you can demonstrate why, I'm all ears.

Yes, you asked me a question about what facts changed and I (and others) answered it.

Neil's right, of course. Who in his right mind would let ancient easterners such as Athenians meddle with Democracy's people power? I said "in his right mind" advisedly. Those wise Athenians of 2,500+ years ago got it right. Restrict your electorate and your referendumate. No bloody foreigners, no cretins or Cretans; certainly no Spartans. No slaves, no freed slaves, no criminals, certainly no women. 10-20% of Athens' population who have done their military service is the limit. Some of you mad revolutionaries will let Sunderlanders in if we don't watch you. And don't let it get out of hand. The people make mistakes. They've made a right howler back in June '16. Who the hell's going to trust them with a second vote? Let's elect a new Demos.

Isn't the obvious that the referendum was for a hard brexit??? I don't remember anyone talking about any deal whatsoever. It was, if I recall - take back control of our borders, laws, money WTO rules and stop immigration. More or less.
So now we've got a 'deal' whats wrong with voting on it?
Don't you want to be able to remind the government that the 'Will of the people' was for a no deal brexit?

I suppose one good thing may have come out of this. It may have made people realise that referenda are only any use for questions like “ Do you want sugar in your tea”. Oh hang on, how many spoonfuls? And what about milk? And what kind of tea........

Don't say that Michael,
I was hoping we might get a referendum on a federal England when the dust settles.

Only if it’s preceded by a compulsory Open University course.
