It may have been what was said, but no Prime Minister and no Government can compel a future one to be bound by that. It was an irresponsible thing to say because it’s entirely outwith their control. It’s also convincing people that “once in a generation“ and “once in a lifetime” are statements that should apply to referenda.

If a a Government of any colour wins an election on a manifesto commitment to hold a referendum it’s within it’s right to do so regardless of whether the question was most recently asked. (I know that isn’t the case here).

That’s right socialism is what we need to sort this out.
I wouldn’t go that far, but uncontrolled and unregulated capitalism largely built on a debt mountain comes to a crashing halt from time to time. Here, in the rest of the EU, and all around the world.

The kids can worry about that when we’re long in the ground. Brexit-logic.
