// It would still mean that nobody would ever bother to vote, as they know they wouldn't be listened to. //
In the scenario I envisaged, essentially the entire country has changed their minds. So, exactly how are they "not being listened to"? If anything, in that scenario, going ahead with Brexit would be the act of not listening, because you are refusing to listen to what the country says *now*.
As far as I can see that's where the fundamental disagreement comes. Although I'm sure that most people haven't changed their mind since 2016, democracy is still about what the country wants *now*, not what it wanted three, or ten, or thirty, or a hundred years ago. If the Country still thinks in the same way *now* as it did in 2016, then so be it, but if it does not then *now* becomes the primary concern.

Naomi, I know that we disagree, and I know that you've lost all respect for me, but all the same -- wouldn't it at least be worth trying to put your view across independent of what you think about me? I assume that more people read this than just you, me, and pixie. Maybe they're interested in what you think about Brexit more than they are what you think about me.
