| "Just accept the result and move on." Any referendum can be either democratic or irreversible, but not both. Just as no parliament can bind a successor, it follows that no electorate can do either. The 2016 referendum does not and cannot bind the UK absolutely. Any democracy can change its mind. This is just a simple truth: electorates in any democracy are entitled to change their minds. This should be perfectly obvious really. That, and that a further democratic vote undermines democracy is perhaps the daftest argument yet in Brexit. |
