Nice one Fred but.......Farage was speaking in May and talking about an "if the Remain campaign wins by a narrow majority" he would want another referendum.
Presumably as his Out campaign won by a similar narrow margin would he now sanction a second vote? Doubt it. All politicians are created equal - it's just that some are more equal than others.
Last time I looked that petition was getting close to the 170,000 mark so it has to be debated but as far as I know the referendum decision has to go to the House of Commons for a vote to implement the decision and exit the EU anyway.
Interesting minefield this one. The Commons is massively pro EU. Will our elected representatives overturn the "will" of the people to further their own political aims?
Fascinating times which are not doing my sore head and soaring blood pressure any good whatsoever.
