Theresa promising a second vote? 17:58 - Sep 19 with 5997 views

So here's an interesting thing. I am told that Theresa May has put her name to a document promising that there will be no second vote on leaving the EU *within this Parliament*. /1

Why would you feel the need to add those words? Is the plan that if Chequers fails Theresa May will go for a General Election and seek to win Remain votes by offering a referendum? /2
— Jo Maugham QC (@JolyonMaugham) September 19, 2018

That would be quite a cute strategy - not least because (1) it would be a pretty effective stick with which to chivvy ERG types into supporting Chequers but also (2) if they did call her bluff she'd win *lots and lots* of Remain votes from Labour in a GE. /3

The irony being that the European Union is generally in favour of allowing prisoners to vote but those who want 'their' country back won't let this guy vote Leave regardless.

Reading a bit much into the use of 'in this parliament' IMO.

She's literally put her name in a document that says there will be no 2nd vote, and the conclusion is she's 'promising' a 2nd vote? Bit of a leap, no?

Does this guy genuinely think that the Labour voters who voted Remain would vote Tory in a Gen elec? Do these idiots never ever learn anything?

We probably won’t, but that all depends how this nonsense plays out.

If we had 20, that would be an achievement tbh. We just have to hope the two largest parties find the manual on how to organise a pissup in a brewery

I'm all for it but it does amuse me that the people calling for a second referendum are the same people who a) don't believe in referendums and b) think that the plebs are too thick to understand the complexities of what they are voting for.

Personally, I don't think I can live through another plus months of lying, obfuscation, wilful divineness and bitter entrenchment. On a cold intellectual level it *might* be a good idea, but given the quality of debate on show last time(when TWTD shows a higher level of informed conversation than those who apparently Know About These Things you know you're onto a bad 'un) I fear it may eclipse 201 for sheer dreadfulness.

Regards b), I think all of our viewpoints have been challenged and we have had to develop a new outlook in the last couple of years. Well, most of us, anyway.

We have already had a second referendum. We had one asking if we wanted to join, then one asking if we wanted to leave or remain.

As a general rule Plebs are only too thick to understand the complexities of what they are voting for if they disagree with your views.
