    This was hilarious. I also loved his other metaphor from his Repertoire set, where on the day of the vote his friend, who was making him tea, asked him if he wanted the teabag left in or removed. "Not today, man... not today! I can't handle this dilemma today, it's too stressful! Cause on the one hand, if I leave the bag in, the tea, as a whole, gets stronger... And even though it appears the tea bag is getting weaker, it's still made a strong cuppa tea. On the other hand, if I take the teabag out, the tea gets weaker... and the bag, goes straight into the bin."

    @@tariqmaketab595 Yes, that was supposed to be determined by MPs alone. Although as luck would have it, Brexit was so difficult to sort out that we had TWO elections between the vote and leaving the EU. So the idea that we didn’t have a say on the conditions of Brexit (or whether we should Brexit at all) after the referendum is demonstrably false. Don’t get me wrong though, I think the premise of the referendum was absolutely awful. The guy who called the referendum didn’t support change and didn’t propose what would happen if we left. This left a vacuum of BS to materialise where, as Acaster says, others could claim whatever they wanted. The whole mess is Cameron’s fault.

    Weird, I see it differently (What a shock, eh?): that plate of shite James wonderfully refers to is parliament's refusal to honor the will of the British citizenry. A second referendum would have been an attempt to subvert democracy-- as you say, about the most insane thing the government could've done-- well, after not heeding the public's wishes in the first place. Dunno, we outsiders here in America don't have the greatest understanding of all that Britain's been through with Brexit, but we generally were quite astonished that for nearly two years parliament attempted to deny democracy's principles and practices. For us, that was the line, the full story, full stop, all that was necessary to understand. I mean, what was to happen should the second referendum produce the result wanted? Another referendum to overturn that one, after having set the precedent? Gory, what would've happened had the result come back in confirmation? Yet another to get a result more appealing, an outright admission that the aim was to fully abandon democracy altogether? Very worrisome how many chose to overlook these foundational questions for moaning about the result, demonstrating democracy wasn't especially well-regarded. Rather than setting to the work of going independent, seems nearly everyone over yonder spent two years doing everything within their power to obstruct the decision and ensure its failure. We in America have been experiencing the circumvention of our will for three or four decades now, knowing its manifestation very intimately. Surely, most Brits have experienced the same since Reagan and Thatcher, yet when Brexit happened, it's like the whole country went down the path of autocrats bent on ignoring the will of the people. Have likely said too much on a sensitive, complex topic, these principles of democracy being a joy to write about, recent turns toward the subversion of democratic practices by both our major parties here motivating reflection, action and alarm. Can only hope you across the pond don't ever have to experience what we're presently going through, what will take a generation to repair in re-orientating leadership's priorities and purpose to remove minority rule, majorities even now adopting authoritarian practices to see their goals fulfilled. Satire is a wonderful steak dinner all should be privileged to enjoy. If well done, its delicious democracy is incredibly superb, divinely inspired preordination.

But people were lied into Brexit just about as much as people were lied into the Iraq war. The referendum shouldn't have happened in the first place because the relationship with the EU is way too complex to explain to people without them falling asleep. And if you can't explain it, how can people make an informed decision. Plus, the point was never the relationship with the EU anyway. The whole thing was just a nationalist, populist and at times racist gambit, kinda like the US border wall Trump was always shouting about.

    @@dcbsmt Yeah, we didn't pick up on the xenophobia so much. After the Scottish vote for independence, we figured Britain was simply tired of paying into the EU and being told what to do. That's why parliament's resistance was so confusing to us-- why wouldn't leaders have wanted something they themselves proposed, especially after receiving the population's public support? Felt like they were saying the public was dumb, couldn't be trusted for being so uneducated. I get the Iraq war comparison, but it seems in the leadup to the vote all matters of the issue were debated and publicly aired, whereas our media and government glommed onto a single narrative devoid of critique or dissent. Can't tell who's better off-- those who put up a stink or those who went along, distrust and powerlessness being the end result of either. Seems when governments separate themselves from their people, all legitimacy is lost. To get it back doesn't seem something they're interested in now, their every move leaning into the authoritarianism we each were seeking to avoid. Seems "they'll like it when we win" philosophies have overtaken appeal, persuasion and cooperation now, that democratic practices are being perceived as threatening to party self-interest-- the very worst partisanship that has led to every conflict, famine, war and genocide we've each experienced in our pasts, from Mao to Stalin to that Austrian frucker to Jefferson Davis, Johnson, Nixon and Bush, either by intent or by indifference. What's weird is we each allow our governments an autonomy they need to get the work done, yet anymore it doesn't seem that work is even being applied in the name of any party's majority base any longer, which is more than worrying. Either they get their act together or we're going to have to prohibit any minority class from governing the majority-- a simple piece of legislation that caps public service by net worth-- say, at 3x the poverty level. Went long again into interesting woods. Hope you don't mind and are inclined to carrying on, these open conversations being so rare these days. Maybe, they can only occur when discussing the past, which reminds me: why did Cameron even offer the referendum in the first place? The reasoning is rather foggy, even politically, even after all this time.

    Not exactly. People don't want to have to win 2 elections to get their party in power, even if a win is a given. But also the options of a hard brexit and a soft brexit take time to negotiate. So the public can't be provided the plan for brexit until it's agreed on. And if the UK doesn't leave until it's agreed on then the EU will stall negotiations indefinitely to keep the uk in the Eu.

    Speaking as a "Brexiteer" we did have an informed second referendum. 2016 was it. The first was in 1977 when we decided to join, what we were told was going to be just a "free trade zone". As the EU morphed into an anti-democratic federal state, that turned out to be a lie, so we decided to leave. One could also argue that the Tories' 2019 landslide election victory, was also a second referendum of sorts. I wouldn't be against a third referendum in the future....if the EU is still around by then.

    @@timbradshaw5481 Except there is such a thing as reality, and in reality the EU kept pushing the UK to finish up the negotiations, from the day of the first referendum to the ultimate agreement. There was no stalling. The EU pushed the UK to activate article 50 and get started, while the UK stalled. When the UK finally did activate, the EU pushed for the UK to come up with a set of compatible desires for the negotiation, while the UK stalled. When the UK kept stalling, the EU published their own "strategy", letting the UK pick and choose their option, but the UK kept stalling. Then the EU laid out a workable solution, but the UK kept stalling. When the UK finally came up with a workable solution (which was basically the original EU one), the EU agreed quickly, while the UK stalled. When the agrrement was eventually turned down in the UK parliament, the EU kept pushing for the UK to come up with a workable alternative. When the UK kept stalling, the EU kept pushing, even threatening to stop postponing the deadline. However the UK kept stalling. When the UK finally at the last minute came up with a solution, the EU quickly agreed and got it done. (Ofc the UK has then decided it won't abide by the agreement they themselves suggested). The EU had more important things on the agenda, that they had to keep delaying, because the UK kept stalling the negotiations.

    James, you are right. Unfortunately this is true about all of democracy. Bait and switch works. The problem is that monomanics gravitate towards leadership positions because the public confuses lack of nuance with clarity.. We need to add a feedback loop to political processes and some accountability for promisses. But that means to evaluate and punish the people in power, which is hard to implement. And without nuance it becomes: "public daily floggings for politicians". Referendum on that?
