Re: Post-Brexit Thread
We are currently hosting Italian students (15-18 age bracket) in the UK for 1-2 weeks. The consensus from them probably echoes that from around the EU. Older people would like to return to the Lira and more national say, younger people are more concerned with freedom of movement (and buying imported stuff!). This seems to be the case with all the groups we've had from different regions (mostly more northern) and social groupings.
From this it seems the question isn't so much whether the EU itself is good or bad. Different ages have different aspirations and desires, these are not actually competing though. The young don't seem to care about the Euro and while the older people want controls on immigration aren't against freedom of movement generally.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Because democracy doesn't consist of referendum after referendum until the 'right' answer is found.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Well every election I vote in the hope I'll get a different result than I actually got in the last 30 + years..

It does in Brussels. Democracy is only served when they get the answer they want.

A referendum on the terms of a deal would be a very different question Den.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
“tyranny of the majority”
Did he run that phrase through any sort of internal filter before uttering it?! Numpty!

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Tyranny of the majority is an interesting concept, it's relevant to what we're discussing in the US Election thread too.
