We are currently hosting Italian students (15-18 age bracket) in the UK for 1-2 weeks. The consensus from them probably echoes that from around the EU. Older people would like to return to the Lira and more national say, younger people are more concerned with freedom of movement (and buying imported stuff!). This seems to be the case with all the groups we've had from different regions (mostly more northern) and social groupings.

From this it seems the question isn't so much whether the EU itself is good or bad. Different ages have different aspirations and desires, these are not actually competing though. The young don't seem to care about the Euro and while the older people want controls on immigration aren't against freedom of movement generally.

Nobody in the front line of politics will dare say it now, but another referendum on the terms of any deal is very possible. Why would Brexiters be scared of that if the case is overwhelming ?

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Because democracy doesn't consist of referendum after referendum until the 'right' answer is found.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Well every election I vote in the hope I'll get a different result than I actually got in the last 30 + years.. :D

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

It does in Brussels. Democracy is only served when they get the answer they want.

Unless your name is Nigel Farage ...

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

The fact is even though l did not vote for Brexit the democratic process should be respected and that means going through with the whole process.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

A referendum on the terms of a deal would be a very different question Den.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

I've never heard of a referendum on a trade deal before.

“tyranny of the majority”
Did he run that phrase through any sort of internal filter before uttering it?! Numpty! :rolleyes:

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Tyranny of the majority is an interesting concept, it's relevant to what we're discussing in the US Election thread too.
