Shamelessly copied from another forum, but I liked it and agree with it.

The population have been asked and have given an answer. To return again and ask the same question phrased slightly differently is an implicit request for a different answer. If you didn't like the answer from the first one, why ask it in the first place? What do you do if you get another answer you don't like? Keep asking? Then it's not a question at all, it's an instruction. If it's an instruction it's not a referendum.

It seems to me we are being led by a parliament who don't agree with the decision the public made. They are now trying very hard to make a Brexit sound impossible without catastrophe. Ignoring the questionable factualness of that statement, it's incredibly arrogant and disrespectful to ask the voters a question, then ignore their instruction because you don't like it.

If, and it is an if, a hard Brexit takes place and creates a catastrophe, so be it. That's what the electorate voted for, an exit. If it ends in tears, we can only blame ourselves. We weren't promised a clean exit or a special deal, we were simply promised an exit, however that happens.

To come back now and say, having created an utter dogs dinner of the exit, "erm, you obviously didn't know what you voting for last time, please change your mind", to escape from said dogs dinner, is lunacy.
