    Arran Cameron:

    What should the second referendum be about? If it is a full blown repeat of the first referendum - should the UK leave the EU or remain in the EU - then if the outcome is remain, millions of leave voters will feel betrayed which will add tons of fuel to the fire for UKIP. IMO such a result will stir up a hornet's nest and backfire in a very nasty way.




    And it's not acceptable for millions of remain voters to feel betrayed?  It wasn't exactly a clear vote!


    But Andy's comments are correct, we will still need to deal with Britexit when it actually happens.  However, we don't have any idea of what could be the end agreement - so you can't plan what you will do about it (or you assume the worst).


    Personally, I suspect that leaving the EU will not actually resolve all the issues that the UKIP voters are moaning about (some of them, yes). 


    Interestingly, I noticed a survey recently sent out by the IET asked about this...
