So, a large chunk of Brits have no idea what they actually want so their differences in responses are just based on the superficial language?

quote:

So far, despite the clamour from within cabinet, her own whips office, Tory backbenchers, and even some of her own closest allies, the PM has given no indication she is willing to go. One of the many MPs who had a face-to-face meeting with May this week described their own attempt to convince her to set a departure date: “She just went silent and her eyes glazed over.”

May appears to have some mild form of autism that renders her unable to talk to people without looking at a piece of paper for reference, so it shouldn't be that surprising that they've done so badly.

Not necessarily. My wife voted Remain and thinks Brexit is a stupid idea, but believes that we democratically voted to leave and so we should accept that. She thinks it’s a bad idea to just keep voting until you get the decision you like.
I think that having an “Are you sure you want to go ahead with this, now things are a bit clearer?” confirmation vote is still a democratic thing to do.

The "Leave" campaign was super-shady and committed a million election-law violations. I think there's an article about it in the latest New Yorker.

I haven't read the whole thing, because I get angry and depressed when I go too far.

At the very least people should accept that a new referendum is necessary, when the government has proven itself completely incompetent in implementing the single most important policy change of your entire country.
