BREXIT

[VNA]

I've no doubt it will be....if the answers Remain.

Legally binding means just that.  Whatever the result is it has to be implemented.


Naturally some folks will ask why was the 2016 not legally binding.  The simple answer to that is that to be legally binding the result has to be defined.  And that was the big problem with the 2016 referendum, BREXIT was not defined.  So the 2016 refenedum was a simple consultative ballot. 



So that means if there is a second referendum it has to be a very specific question.


Which in turn is where the problem lies.  It will be a nightmare defining the question.  I’m not sure it can be done as it has to be agreed by parliament.



I would argue the following;


May’s deal is officially the only deal on offer.  It’s a withdrawal deal, with our settled position to be negotiated over the next few years.  It’s been agreed by the government and ratified with the 27 remaining EU states.  It is defined and can be implemented.
Therefore;


Do you wish implement the governments withdrawal act and LEAVE the EU.



Or


Do you wish to cancel article 50 and REMAIN in the EU.


That would allow a legally binding referendum to take place.
