Brexit isn't some game. That seems pretty core to your argument. Comparing it to a game seems to dilute the differences between global politics and leisure activities.

People do change their minds. Laws change to reflect public sentiment over time. All kinds of laws. Some as big of a deal as slavery. Some as little of a deal as tax rates on cakes.


Sure.. we shouldn't set a precedent of having the voters vote on something, then politicians don't do it. We shouldn't set a precedent that voters vote one way, then politicians don't like it so they hold more votes until they get the vote they want. That's terrible, and you're right.

However... this was a clusterfuck from the start. As I understand it, most of it was fallout from someone writing some lies on a bus and driving it around.
Even the pro-Brexit politicians had no actual plan if the vote went in their favor. That pretty much tells me that even they didn't expect it to go their way, that they were bluffing.


A lot of information has come to light in the past 3 years that was not known. The difficulty of striking any favorable deals as the UK leaves the EU must change the minds of people who originally voted thinking otherwise. 3 years of stalled movement with no compromises is enough to pull over to the side of the road and make sure you've got the right map, and that you're heading the right direction.


I've no vested interest in this. Whether or not you /should/ take another vote or press on with the last one is not for me to say. It just strikes me that there is a compelling argument to be made that this is not a scam, that the first vote was the scam, and the constituency is far more informed now than they were back when.
