    He [Farage] believes a second vote will see Leave's share increase and I'm beginning to suspect he'll be right. I have noticed, with people in my own social circle, how much quieter the leavers are. I think remain may well be the archetypal vociferous minority who are convinced they will romp a second referendum based on nothing more than the rather noisy echo chamber they inhabit.

    GPWM.

    The demonisation of leavers has cowed many into silence I expect. I have had to self-censor at work for three years in fear of my job.

    Yes, don't get me wrong, even though I voted Remain and would now support a second referendum, if I had to bet I would bet that Leave via hard Brexit wins with a similar majority. I'm even considering voting Leave this time such is my disgust with the EU executive cretins.

    But I think there is a strong argument for the referendum that I described.

    There should not be an option to stay if there is a second vote, the country voted to leave so the ONLY options should be Hard Brexit or a compromise deal with all the options known in advance

    The referendum you describe would be inherently fixed as it would split the leave vote.

    Um, yeah, but that's OK when both the options involve leaving.

    Good lord.

    You may have been on holiday and missed it, but we've already had a vote on this question and the electorate chose the 'Leave' option, so that bit's done.

    I'm surprised you hadn't heard about it. It's been on the news and everything.

    I'm sure your social circle gives us a much greater insight than the 20-odd nationwide polls this year, Herbs. Which is lucky given Leave hadn't had a lead for 12 months. 2 way or 3 way.
