Divisive another vote maybe, but no less so than the original vote. This is going to affect generations to come, we can put up with the whining oaps for a few weeks. They may post some vitriol on the DT comments, but that will be the limit of their militant action ! |
I don't think close referendums are sufficient grounds for radical changes to the country when the majority could easily switch back the other way. I think major changes should require supermajorities so that the country is behind that change, this process is evidence of why that is important. I thought that for Scottish Independence and for Brexit.
But then I also think it's stupid for governments to hold referendums in which they don't agree with the change option. The Government implementing a policy which it thinks is a bad idea is also not ideal.
