It may not be for you, but hundreds of thousands of people will be affected by it and some in a big way. Loosing your livelihood, life savings or your house is no small matter.

You're probably right , but the 29th isn't the end of the world , couple of weeks may just jolt a few peolpe .

We can't do the PM deal and the EU aren't moving . so let the reality evolve .

To be honest, it there was another vote tomorrow, I don't think we would know what the implications would be of ether side winning, its a crystal ball type question, no one can predict the future.

People voted with the best facts / knowledge at their disposal at the time. If we voted again tomorrow and leave won, by the time it would be time to leave in 2 years time the whole landscape would be different again, same position as we are in today.

Potentially we will be leaving the EU in a months time, and facts are few and far between as we stand!!

The UK will be entering uncharted territory, and no one for certain can predict the outcome

All this talk of a peoples vote but did Brussels bother asking the people of Europe how the EU should respond?

Democracy is not high on the EU agenda. Thats the sole reason why I voted for brexit, i want to be able to appoint or remove the people who govern the country i live in.
And first past the post is democratic. Funny then that the EU stated that if the UK was to reapply for membership there would have to be reforms to make the UK Parliament more accountable to it's people.:whistle:

Ha! Should the UK ever choose to return (unlikey) it would be more to the point if they insisted that the European Parliament actually live up to its name rather than just rubber stamp whatever they are told to rubber stamp.

PR maybe the only good thing that comes out of Brexit. But there will have to be major reforms in how Parliament functions. Probably a new Parliament building with modern technology would be a good start.

Interfering with the shape of bananas was bad enough, no way will the UK entertain the idea of the EU telling it how to run its government, and Brussels knows it, so it's just further childish petulance from Junker et al.

Again with that rubbish about bendy bananas. It was a lie (another one) propagated by fat Johnson slob.
