We've already answered that question. If we were to have another referendum (which we won't) the question should be acceptance or rejection of the eventual deal with the EU, with the clear understanding that rejection of the deal will mean WTO.

The remainers had better be careful what they wish for, because the indications are that the majority are most likely to go for WTO rules. Given this would be anathema to the remainers, and that they would prefer a deal with the EU rather than the so-called 'cliff edge' scenario, I would have thought a second referendum is the last thing they'd want.

For Andrew, I say this. I have nothing against Germany nor France. The former is a successful country to which I travel often. I am nearly bilingual English/German. But from a political point of view, we have failed to curtail their government's hegemonic approach to affairs and I want out of the consequences.

As regards France, a wonderful country of rich traditions, countryside, food and great people. But again, their government takes a dishonest approach to the principles of the EU as I have explained. They are also trying to co-run the EU with Germany. I want no part o f that either.

None of you Remainers directly address these matters but instead try to insult me.
Probably, Seph, because these are not the top issues on people's minds when they say they want to leave.

I think most are against France's Common Agricultural Policy, but the main issues are free movement, control of our borders and freedom to make our own laws.

To be honest, you are the only person I have come across as citing Germany hegemony.
