VIM Rodrigo needs to be reminded that the vote to leave the EU was only by a very small majority of those who bothered to vote and not the overwhelming majority that some would like to think. This is why I believe that it would be only fair to hold a vote, after the terms to leave become known, to see what the population then thinks.

Oxford voted to stay in the EU, so that the views of Anneliese Dobbs only reflect those of the city.  Southern Ireland prospered under the EU and Northern Ireland voted to stay in. This presents the negotiators with a serious problem. The only reasonable answer would seem to be to leave it in the EU.

Judging by the way negotiations are going, it seems likely that it will be many years before we are able to leave. One thing is sure, it will not benefit the UK.
