Not true, B.
Every single Lab held seat has a majority, however small, for a 2nd vote.
And given many Lab seats voted Leave, this clearly shows that some Leave voters, however small a number, have changed their minds.
This may not include anyone you know personally, and it may be only a small number, but some have and given the closeness of the vote, it's enough to tip the balance.
So if the majority of the public now want a 2nd vote, by however small a majority, and the majority would now vote remain, by however small a majority, the democratic thing to do is have a 2nd vote.
There are some people who you don't know and who don't post on the internet who voted Leave without actually being obsessive about it and can now see that the promises weren't kept, and therefore think on balance we should cancel Brexit.
Or do you claim to know all 17m personally?
Because if not, you can't really say what they all want, can you?
By 17m, you mean me and my mates.
Nice try, but no.
The polling shows a generally favourable attitude to a referendum on the terms of the final deal - i.e. The deal on the table or no deal. However, that favourable attitude drops off a cliff the minute it's suggested that an option to remain is on the ballot.
So stop talking bóllocks.

All politicians are ****s. ****ing sick of them. We’ve got two parties over here who got about 14% of the vote and they’re basically stopping the country from having a government. They went to the polls as part of a four party coalition which together had 143 mandates with the other main coalition having 144 mandates. Both are unable to govern without the other standing aside (which isn’t going to happen because the last 4 years have shown its political suicide) or taking support in some form from the nationalist party who have 67 mandates.
After the election the coalition with 143 mandates and the nationalists voted to kick out the current prime minister meaning they were free to try and form a government. We’ve had two months of these two parties who got 14% trying to get the opposition coalition to stand aside and not vote against them which they’ve said not to many times. On Wednesday there’s a vote in parliament to appoint the man who they went to the polls with as their prime minister candidate and they’re going to vote against him because they don’t want to govern with support from the nationalists and want to keep having pointless talks with the opposition to try and get them to stand aside. So basically they’ve gone to the public with a manifesto which they’d be able to get through parliament over the next 4 years were they to vote yes tomorrow but will instead vote no because “morals”. I’d be fuming if I voted for them.
Yes. The polls are pretty much the same as they were in June 2016.
Which would kind of be the evidence that there is no groundswell for a second vote, wouldn’t it? After all, if people had changed their minds in large numbers either way, you’d expect to see that reflected when pollsters ask them if they want a second vote, wouldn’t you?
pretty much the same??? So the poll was amaxingly close the first time and pretty much the same shows there is no groiundswell for a second vote... quite frankly that has more holes in it than our defence.
the Polls before the vote showed the vote as remain, so to use an opinion poll in your reasoning is plainly wrong
