Re: It's the brexiter anti-growth coalition at it again

Even if the sentiment of voters had changed and voted differently in a "should we undo Brexit" referendum, would that really change anything? Would the EU permit the UK to go back to their old arrangement, or would they say "you're either all in or you're all out, we won't go back to your 'halfway in' special deal you had before"?

The biggest problem with Brexit was making it about a simple majority vote. Surely a supermajority should have been required for such a major change, and should be required for the UK to someday join the EU in full if that's what it decides. To do that on a majority vote risks a majority vote going the other direction a few years later if political winds shift.
