What the Brexiteers do not want in those marginal voters allowed another chance to vote in a second referendum now that they’ve seen that the properganda spouted by the leave camp were lies, per the next one

And sorry anybody that wants to leave on WTO rules has no understanding of the consequences thereof and the only reason any of the ERG advocate a no deal Brexit is as a negotiating tool against the EU.

I voted leave, but as the process has dragged on so long, I think it's probably only right that the public get a vote on the FINAL deal (if it comes to that).
99% of people I know who voted leave, voted that way due to immigration, which is pretty much what the entire leave campaign was based on.
Now to put across a deal which gives freedom of movement to all pretty much makes their votes worthless. Seems like it was a complete waste of time if you ask me.
I'd be happy to have another vote, but I don't think anyone should be called a racist for wanting to leave the EU, nor be called a snowflake for wanting to remain.

It certainly has!
A friend and colleague of thirty years referred to me as as a traitor because of my pro Eu opinion. The chap got very heated during his regular rants.
One of his rants centred around “make our own laws” but could never specify one of the “silly “ Eu laws he banged on about.
He got so rude and abusive I’ve just blocked his number. I find it sad that an otherwise intelligent fella could react in such a juvenile/ yobbish way.

It’s not the result of the voting that concerns me, it’s the actions of the few on whichever side won’t get their way.
This was a very British mutiny & the soft skills applied should have brought people together by working on a joint plan, not driven many apart

It's not really. We've only been in the EU (or its predecessor) for about 45 years in our history. So hardly "unknown" unless you mean in the sense of we are the first country to use Article 50 to leave the EU?
Having a second referendum now would be very unfair on the leave camp. It's like holding a vote when we've had all the angst and worry over the negotiations but none of the upside from actually being out. At least when we joined the EU we actually had a few years in before we asked the question again. If there must be a second vote it should be 5 years after we've actually left so people have more evidence to judge the success or failure of the project.
A lot was made about promises made by the leave camp before the referendum but most of those involved weren't MP's or senior figures in the government (Boris excluded) so it was no more than the usual political campaigning that goes on before an election. Anyway, the remain side had a national government-funded leaflet campaign to every household in their favour and "Project Fear" which we all know now was utter horse****.
