The ballot said "do you want to leave the european union" mentioned nothing about freedom of movement or the single market (which we may be staying in at this rate)
A lot of people say thats unconstitutional and undemocratic. But we have elections every 5 years. You vote based on the circumstances the country find itself in and the policies advocated by the political party. Since the brexit vote circumstances have bloody changed. Its a mess. We now know what deal we're going to get. The choices should be now
1) Accept the deal - with the deal fully explained to people
2) Hard brexit
3) No brexit
At least people could then finally get what they want since circumstances have changed tremendously from what people voted for 2 years ago. Lies have been revealed. We're now finally going to see what we're going to get
Basically half in and half out of europe but with no say in the running of the EU. Which is quite ridiculous. So circumstances have changed why can't we have another vote to see if we want that or not? I think that is democracy at its finest.
I enjoy debates with people who voted brexit but i'll never insult them like i don't expect to be insulted back. So then i see childish words like "remoaners" i find it extraordinary. Or comments like "jeez you remainers!" like its a bad thing to have a different point of view.
We are all going to have different points of view. I won't sneer at people who voted for brexit and will treat them with respect and seeing social media and the attacks at people who have different points of view. I find it ironic that people who voted brexit don't want another refendrum because it'll "ruin democracy" but then attack people who haven an opposing view which is what democratic countries allow. Bitterly ironic.
The country is well and truly at a crossroads this year. God bless us all!

NO NO NO NO, to option 3.
We voted to leave, why cannot people get that.
Please don't say "we didn't know waht we were voting for" - if thats the case you should never be allowed to vote again.
Lets not even mention the £350m.
