What's become very clear is we have an influential group of people who don't really care about democracy unless it's giving them what they want and are more then happy to ignore a democratic vote when it isn't what they want.
This would set a very destabilising precedent if a second referendum was held and for that reason I don't support it, that's not even taking into account the damage the last one did are we really wanting to go through that again. Right now as a result of our referendum other citizens of EU member states want that vote for themselves and we need to abide by ours not just for our stability but for those others to get their say.
I find it amusing that the remain camp are throwing the "selfish" tag at leave voters given they are asking for another referendum for their selfish reasons it is perfectly in keeping with the tone of the campaign we had and it's just as bad and pathetic.

I doubt you'd have objected had this come to pass

And don't you think the reason the older generation voted leave is because we had enough after 43 years? There is no substitute for experience.

What about the two stupid reasons for remain that kept coming up? Roaming charges and holidays is a hell of a silly reason to base a remain vote on. What's best for the UK was mine and most leavers reason.

At least there real reasons, no matter how silly they're not made up like those bozos were last night, I was actually embarrassed for them, clutching at straws and grasping around for soundbites
