Re: @ Esme where the Remain side got things so horribly wrong
"It was Farage who had said that voting figures like those ought to lead to a second referendum - when he thought he'd lose. Likewise the petition about voting came from a Brexiteer, before the result, because he thought they might lose by a small percentage."
The trouble with the second referendum idea is that that might also give a small margin one way or another so do you then go for a third - a fourth...?
The answer is to realise that the margin for a change needs to be substantial - 60:40 or maybe 2/3:1/3. We've had a referendum. It didn't make those numbers. End of story.
