YP Letters: Questions of democracy on Brexit outcome

What would be the legitimacy of a second referendum on Brexit?

AS neither a staunch Leaver or Remainer, I have two, hopefully, relevant questions.

1. Should 326 fellow citizens (MPs) be able to negate a vote which was taken by over 33.5 million citizens?

2. What would happen if a further referendum produced a vote to remain of 50.1 per cent against 49.9 per cent to leave the EU? Would this be seen as conclusive and definitive?

I AM appalled at Dai Woosnam’s letter (The Yorkshire Post, September 25).

The Polish people lost  around six million lives during the course of the Second World War – out of a total population of some 30 million. That is about one in five.

Had we lost a similar proportion, some 10 million people would have perished.

REMAIN supporters like your regular correspondent John Cole say the will of the people on Brexit has changed. Maybe, but the same can be said after a general election too.

It beggars belief what some Remainers will think up to try and destroy our democracy.
