It was an advisory referendum; not a legally binding referendum. The referendum was won via lies and misinformation. People are now a lot better informed and the liars have been exposed

Like k-pop sex scandals.

Stop the presses

The ballot paper said the UK government will 'act' on whatever the public vote for and they have acted by triggering article 50. It didn't say any more than that.

Now a particular agreement has been negotiated it isn't a case of in or out any more, we need to ask the public which of the three options they want:

- May's deal
- No deal
- No Brexit

This is entirely reasonable.

Because the Ref wasn't legally binding the result can't be legally overturned.

Those signs:

“Put it to the people”

That’s rich.

Nah, man, I'm sure the British people have magically become less reckless and dimwitted in the past few years.

^ I'm picking up a subtle touch of sarcasm in your comment, D&G, and I can hardly blame you. Anyone even loosely following the Brexit story must be weary of all the confusion, non-decisions and vacillating that's been going on. Are the British inherently wiser today than they were three years ago? Not really, but I think many now have a less naive notion about what Brexit might involve.

Has anyone here ever changed their mind about something as new information comes to light? I did it myself last night when I stopped watching a tv prog that turned out to be disappointing. We all do it incessantly, which is why I'd like to see another referendum, to check if Brits still feel the same way as they did 3 years (and many broken promises) ago.

I wonder how many people who voted for the referendum and still want and expect it to be carried out think that the losers should get a mulligan. I personally wouldn’t find it reasonable to have to win the same election twice.
