I FIND it difficult to understand the arguments against a second referendum on Brexit.
It's almost three years since the last one; there is now far more information - for or against Brexit - in the public domain.
The electoral demographic has changed, very crudely, old out and young in - probably upwards of a million votes involved and there is a public clamour for more options now that we stand on the brink.
To those who oppose another referendum, I would say that if we had another general election soon - not unlikely - would you be happy to say that whoever won two years ago has to be re-elected, because the previous vote is binding?
I would suggest that this would be absurd and I would be surprised if there wasn't general agreement.
So what's the problem?
Sort out the alternatives for the vote (for example no deal, May’s deal, or stay in the EU); do it and be bound by the result.
Certainty for everyone and, hopefully, an opportunity to deal with the country's problems and stop wasting money.
