The argument was that in this poll, the difference was quite small except in England. Additionally, many Leave voters have meanwhile openly changed their mind. Because of this, I'd be amused if this would lead to the UK falling apart, because England is the only part that still seems to somewhat want to really leave the EU.
Not to mention the fact that this referendum was so undemocratic it hurts.
I'm sorry my post went over your head. Should I phrase it more simply next time, or should I take the blame and sign up for my next level of English language classes already?
With a referendum, I always have this thought floating around: How many of those ppl that voted "leave" would have voted "stay" when a part of the EU agreement would have changed, or a compromise would be made?
What if the referendum would have options like:
o Stay
o Leave
o Regulation reform within the EU
o I am against this subject to be in a referendum, it is too complex to let it be decided on votes from citizens. (stimulating non-voters to vote)
And then you needed to have 50% of the votes to leave the EU.
All the other options would imply staying in the EU. (Or leave it up to the government).
Brexit is happening though.. And because of it, I'm up for a referendum to change laws on referendums.
I might have to miss some British commuters in my country because of it.
