The suggested recourse is to have another vote whether to stay or leave.  Those who voted for Brexit did it based on certain assumptions which may not happen after the finalized negotiations between Great Britain and the EU.  

No, we voted and we are leaving period.

Is there a strong concern that the results of a second referendum would be different?  This is going to be a really messy divorce.  All the countries of the EU will have to ratify the agreement.  In my opinion, the end result will be a hard Brexit.

Well im a brexiteer ,i absolutely cannot accept the hypocracy of the eu , the eu since its conception has never been able to have its accounts signed off by the various large accounting firms , last time i looked the ballance was 8 billion unaacounted FOR

As for Junker i laugh when he uses the words democracy and eu in the same sentence ,i recon hes been at the brandy again ,when he talks about a European army it really gets my back up ,this coming from thr ex president of Luxembourg  who have the worst record in Nato for their financial contributions 

Its just one big gravy train and jobs for the boys set up , its more corrupt than the philipino mafia

Stuff them , we have paid for their freedom in blood and a sacrifice that bankrupted the UK , we brits get well and truly shafted by the eu ,if we leave the whole deck will come tumbling down , id b preferr to see a fair trade agreement  , thebthought of the eu becoming unstable  does not apeal either

.Remain told far more lies than leave. They said spending cuts and tax rises would happen as soon as the vote was done, we'd go into a recession, 3 million jobs would be lost, there were even people insinuating we'd be fighting WW3 by this point.
... we were in a far better situation before joining the EU.

I don't believe there was a suggestion that the consequences of a Leave vote would be immediate - and certainly nobody seriously thought we'd be fighting WW3 by now!

We joined the EEC 45 years ago.  A lot of water has flowed under a lot of bridges since then so it's hard to see how we can take comfort from how good things were back in 1973 before we joined the EEC. 

We'll find out soon enough which side told the most/biggest lies - I hope you're right though!

Gaining independence is not always easy. My country would have had it much easier if we had remained with Britain, but we chose to become independent. 

Independence was costly to both sides but we Yanks overcame many new challenges to create a new system of government, an armed forces and a new currency. 

Plus, we even managed to find the time to create our very own language.

Regaining independence is what you should have said.

Every time you see this man he seems to be a little drunk ,and lets face it who has ever heard of him before brexit, maybe if he was not so the so called top dog brexit may never had happened , but once you hear him telling what we should be doing for there own interest well its time to tell him to jump.

Just my own thoughts.

Junker is just an elected bureacratic not a dictator. He has 27 boses telling him what to do, soon to be 26.
