Sorry, but that is not a true democracy to me that people fought hard and died for.
It is irrelevant that the referendum in 2016 was not binding, however it was one of the largest democratic processes this country has ever undertaken, and over a million more people voted to leave than Remain.
All the claptrap about job losses, people losing their houses is just fear mongering rubbish, 90% of the growth in world trade will be OUTSIDE of the EU. We do not need to be in a corrupted EU to do trade deals with less than 10% of the Worlds trade.
Democracy decided that we leave, so leave we must.

Brexit has nothing to do with what people fought and died your statement is a diversion meant to stir an emotive response.
It's completely relevant that the referendum is non binding because we can if we choose just ignore the entire thing (we wont obviously)
My response regarding job losses house price collapse etc was as my post stated a wild hypothesis in response to someone else's claims regarding civil war. However it's nice to know we can ignore all the forecasting and prediction models because you claim it's rubbish. If you can provide any predictions or modelling to show that there would be an upturn in the economy then place them here and let's see them.
I wonder how long it would take to strike these trade deals with countries outside of the EU and what happens in between the ending of the transition phase to implementation of new trade deals HINT it's a damn site longer than two years.
Finally 'Democracy decided that we leave, so leave we must.'
Wrong, that's just your opinion not fact. Democracy means we can if we wish take as many goes as we like.
The original referendum was badly flawed, we should again having a far better idea of the options repeat the process and lets see if turkeys still vote for Christmas.
