To the privileged and those expecting special treatment, equality feels like oppression. That about describes the English attitude throughout it's membership of the EU. Entering the EEC and immediately expecting other countries to bow their heads then award sole leadership. Complaining about any country that used it's veto even when it frequently used it's own.

Anyone who has actually studied democracy knows that a second vote would actually be democratic... Ancient Greece warned us about populism in direct referendums. Direct democracy requires voters that are educated on the subject or it will devolve into populism. The more complex the subject, the harder it is. That is why we have representative democracy today whose weakness, corruption, is more manageable. Representatives who are supposed to consult experts, take decisions for public interest and explain said decision to the public. Having a second vote w/ voters that are a little more educated on what they are voting on is entirely democratic. Brexiteers are just scared of loosing.

It's about time a grown up in parliament stood up, took charge, and said something like 'Your elected government has examined all possible ways of leaving the EU and there is no good way to do it, and more importantly leaving will be highly detrimental to the UK. The UK is significantly better off in the EU, the UK always had a great deal with the EU, even if that wasn't always correctly reported in the media. This doesn't mean the EU can't improve, but we can negotiate and push for those changes by continuing to be a voting member of the EU. In the best interests of the UK we will stay in the EU.' If absolutely necessary, then it could be left open for another referendum, but in 10 years' time.

I don't believe time gone by is the most important factor that the Iberians don't revel that much in their former glory. Especially the Spanish know a thing or two about tearing your own country apart and ending up in a dictatorship. Pretty efficient cure for grandiosity and insisting on being the center of the universe. Plus, travelling the country and it's islands I've found that they are not very much into their royals or government and have very varied and strong regional cultures, a good chunk of them not even "Spanish", so "we the Spanish" is not that big of a deal anyway.

Imagine if the SNP had won the referendum, and then insisted on an open border with Wales? An open border that would mean Scottish firms could set up in Wales and avoid UK import taxes; I think we'd tell the Scots where to get off. You can't leave a Union, but then insist on a part of your country remaining in an open border relationship. I mean millions of UK firms could relocate to N Ireland to avoid the tariff. And not only UK firms. Chinese, Japanese and American firms too. N Ireland would just become a back-passage into the Single Market. A kind of internal tax haven. If Britain wants frictionless trade between N Ireland and the Republic, the customs border really has to run down the Irish sea. There really is no other logical solution. A deal could then be reached, whereby the revenue raised from the duties collected from goods going from the mainland into the North of Ireland would go towards the maintenance of the peace process, and cross border cooperation.

chinese and japanese and american firms can no longer do business with eu if they remain in uk after hard brexit. uk agreement with them have to be renegotiated as all uk treaties done under eu is voided. and uk has to use wto rules. that means those firms probably have to pay tariffs to sell their products to eu market. better to pay tariffs on smaller market(uk) than bigger market(eu). so they probably move to eu and pay smaller tariff selling to uk...northern ireland and england do not want sea border, as this would split the uk. but, if this is what your suggesting backstop is better; it would treat northern ireland like eu...all checks would be done in northern ireland and england on the otherside...as you can see, england is not going to go for that

Your Scottish and Welsh analogy doesn't really fit the bill as the history is different, the people are different and they don't share a border with each other. As to NI in the UK, that's guaranteed by the Good Friday agreement until the majority in NI decide otherwise. NI is already different to the rest of the UK with many of its laws and the entitlement of citizens to be Irish or British or both - all guaranteed by the Good Friday Agreement. And there are already all-Ireland bodies such as the Inland Waterways, Food Safety, Animal Health, RNLI, Commissioners for Irish Lights, Railway Preservation Society, Horse Racing Ireland, Tourism Ireland, Ulster-Scots Agency, the Orange Order, Scouting Ireland, Irish Rugby Football Union, Gaelic Athletic Association, Irish National Teachers Organisation, Irish Congress of Trades Unions, the Single Electricity Market (SEM) and many others who are all cross border agencies, authorities, associations, Commissions, institutions and societies that are all organised and administered and funded on an all-Ireland basis. Ambulance, fire and rescue services (both public funded and voluntary) also operate on an all island basis or give assistance when needed. Not one of these arrangements or treatments has acted as a threat to break the Union of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Effectively, together with the EU, the open and frictionless border that is now in place guarantees the continuing integrity of the UK. The irony is that following a Brexit, if there is any new restriction to trade and movement across that border or that adversely affects any of the organisations or the people, then that could eventually result in the break up of the UK as it is now.

They only have a majority if they don't say exactly what it is for. When each faction defines exactly what it is for it is reduced to a minority objective.

IIts sad in a way. Many English felt ignored - particularly in the ex-industrial areas. This gave rise to an English nationalism that needed some way to find expression. Alongside this you have a vociferous right-wing/Murdoch press that systematically created a bogeyman in the shape of the EU i.e. "the oppressor". Nationalists need an Oppressor - although I fail to see when or where the English have ever been oppressed. So the English Nationalist rebel against the EU Oppressor and leave the EU. And this solves what...?
