This is why, despite my reaction to Brexit (plus some other things) being to move from the UK to Berlin, I never really bought into the idea of a second referendum — even when broken down to individual constituencies, most were evenly split and relatively few were decisive either way.

(I did put my name to a few of the relevant post referendum petitions, but as a way to signal my opinions — it was already clear to me that the government doesn’t really listen to any of the petitions).
