When brexits fails there would be another vote...
(although rabid quitters will ironically threaten all sorts of legal measures to prevent it)
The demographic will have changed though, and plenty of current quitters will by then be pushing up daisies
But then would the EU require the UK to fulfill requirements it currently doesn't have to meet?
Such as joining the Euro? - a bad idea!
But just as brexit means that the UK is having to deal with being a weaker country when negotiating 'deals', it would be in the same position should we wish to rejoin...
Not that the instigators of this debacle will care, as they will have stashed their cash offshore and will be long gone!
Are we saying brexiteers are jumping for joy on a forecast that is only positive for the UK if it stays closely aligned to the EU......which they keep saying they dont want.
Its almost as though there is a contradiction going on

At least you understood my question, even with the typo I missed.When brexits fails there would be another vote...

Funnily enough...
"A Brexit Party MEP has prompted derision after complaining that Britain will have no representation at EU level after it leaves...
June Mummery, one of the party's 29 representatives elected to the European Parliament last year, suggested the loss of MEPs would make it hard to hold Brussels to account"
"The big question now is, who will be here to hold these people to account while they still control Britain’s waters, but the UK has no representation?"
"Britain will lose its MEPs, EU commissioner and seats on the EU council after Brexit – leaving it with no control over the bloc's polices or political direction...
However, because of the EU's dominant position in international trade, its policies are expected to have a significant impact on the UK even after Brexit."
Indeed I did.
And it was a question that was never really debated by either side of the campaign, leave or remain.
Whenever negotiations are entered into, the 'weaker side' always has to 'bite the bullet' to some extent or other...
The EU is far from perfect, but the UK is now the 'weaker side'!
this has already happened.
as Rice-Pudd said, the Brexers don't want another vote, "the problem with that is it would overturn the result we've already had"

You really can't make this stuff up, can you? I bet it's the sudden realisation that they will be out of a cushty job that until now nobody really noticed they did - MEPs had it easy, they did the job that nobody else wanted, because they couldn't get voted into a position in the UK. Now they are sad to lose their £100k a year + hotel and living expenses to have a big jolly in Europe. Poor blighters, they'll have to sign on soon. Oh, sorry, you've been working overseas too long, no benefits for you, bye!

Quantum Brexit we would leave the EU but also remain part of the decision making process. Remember they need us more than we need them.
Or Brexiteers in Spain saying well it was to kick the immigrants out, not us.
Brexit personified the last dying remnants of second hand nostalgia of the Empire.
We won the War.
On the 1st Feb 2020 the worlds biggest trade bloc becomes a competitor to the UK.
It is 6X bigger than the UK
Who will pull all the punches.

Woo hoo....
Who will?
But won’t that be countered by all the rabid remaining boo-hooing losers who left the country with their partners and highly educated children after the crushing Tory and pro-Brexit election win? I mean, there’s 4 votes lost with just you and yours. You did leave the country like you said you had, didn’t you? Did you? You never confirmed it. Did you leave?The demographic will have changed though, and plenty of current quitters will by then be pushing up daisies
bigger prisons?
