The appetite to not go through with Brexit seems to be growing. When we were asked to vote on this subject we were very ignorant of the consequences.
No one spelled out for us the economic details or how it would affect the Northern Ireland borders.
Since then doubts have been cast daily on the legalities of several different situations...
The true Brexiteers are vehement in defence of their situation...
Doubts are being cast daily . May can only govern with the help of the UDP.
The recent vote to allow abortion in Northern Ireland has muddied that water considerably.
We have the prospect of Tories wanting to get rid of the House of Lords !
Every day a new initiative floats on Twitter...I have already voted twice for initiatives wanting us to hold another vote.
How this is going to end up is anyone’s guess right now...the whole country is split on the outcome.......
But taking this massive step on the wish of roughly half the country seems to go against the notion of democracy rather than upholding it.
The idea that if you don’t like the outcome of one vote then you need to do it all again also feels wrong.
We are in a bad place right now but one thing could make it worse.
Amongst all of yesterday 's utterances I heard the call to put in a new prime minister who would sort it all out.
The name for the new PM was Gove!
Help!

What I find so disheartening is that those running a remain campaign or even a foriegn Financier, George Soros (who damaged our economy some years ago) is now spending five million pounds on a campaign to get another vote to kill Brexit.
We've had enough voting. It's time that the Government and Parliament got it's act together and put a case for a soft brexit, but leaving with the best deal possible, without capitulating to those who are trying to reverse a democratic decision by voting for Brexit in a completely unnecessary referendum. David Cameron has done a runner to get away from the Mess, solely of his creation and left the rump of the conservatives to sort out his mess.
I think that the vote was divisive, to pander to the right wing of the Tory Party in fear of UKIP, who are no where today, having lost any reason for their existence.
I find it invidious that the unelected House of Lords can use their power to try to reverse a democratic decision of the electorate. The commons should be the ones to make these decisions. But they're too busy with internal political problems to unite to do their job properly.
If there was ever a case for parliamentary reform the evidence exists for a smaller house of commons and the end of the House of Lords, with an elected revision assembly, of individuals who've never been a politician and who can drawn from the wider community and business, internally and from the commonwealth.
