Europe, Referendum & Brexit (formerly Europe..IN or OUT??)

what a FARCE

2m people sign a petition because they didn't get the result they want -
what a great idea - maybe we should try it at the Euros when England get knocked out - we can all sign a petition to get the game replayed until we win

Scotland decides the UK referendum doesn't apply to them, despite the fact that in their referendum they chose to stay in the UK - Make your minds up people.

And Westminster's paralysed with ineptitude - I'm not gonna do it, you do it - No, I'm not gonna do it, you do it...

It was a referendum people - the majority made a decision - DEAL WITH IT

And what MPs are going to go against the British public vote?? Seriously it isn't going to happen they wouldn't stand a chance.

^ One already has. Seems like pissing in the wind to me but he has said it publicly:

Seriously? How could that ever happen?

The fact that bookies are only offering 3/1 against it happening suggests that it's a very serious possibility.

The same bookies that had Remain at 1/4 and Brexit at 10/1 leading into the polls closing.

As Shandy said one MP already is.

But more to the point, in the event of a favourable vote in a second referendum they won't be going against the public vote anyway.

Yes, and the bookies got the odds of Britain voting to leave Europe right didn't they?

1MP, congratulations, you're on to a winning streak

The point perhaps is not how accurate the odds are, but that they have already opened a book on a second referendum happening.

Remain was at 1/4 because that's what people were betting on and bookmakers always follow the money.

Would it be significant if the online petition calling for a second referendum got more signatures than the votes for Leave on Thursday?
