There should be a second Brexit referendum

This position holds that there should be a second Brexit referendum, in Britain's best interests. It argues that only a fresh vote can settle the debate, that the Leave campaign's conduct undermined the legitimacy of the first, and that the electorate that voted in 2016 is itself changing.

  1. The people who voted for Brexit are dying off
    A natural demographic shift has taken place. By January 2019, even if nobody changes their mind, the country will be pro-Remain.
  2. We need another referendum to settle the Brexit debate
    The first referendum did not kill the topic. We need one more to move on and put Brexit to bed.
  3. The Leave campaign undermined the legitimacy of the first referendum
    The first referendum was not valid as Vote Leave campaigned illegally.
