Contrary to what Richard Denton-White proposes (September 20th), that 'we must vote again', no, we must NOT vote again.

We've had a democratic vote on leaving the economic/political embrace of the EU. Those who voted to remain forever shackled to the EU, lost. Those of us who could see the woods for the trees and escape from the clutches of what is, essentially, an undemocratic union, won conclusively.

Putting to one side, all the ongoing claptrap that continues to be promulgated day in and day out by those who are obviously either ignorant of the histrionic agenda of a European Union, or for whatever reason, bury their heads in the sand to ignore the ongoing storm of uncomfortable truths that swirl about them, it defies belief that so many people of all persuasions continue to be willing victims of the idea, that once out of the EU, life as we know it will end in economic and societal catastrophe. No, you couldn't make it up. Even if you really tried too.

But why is it, that when we have a General Election, those people who were on the losing side except the verdict? There are no subsequent calls for another General Election - because they lost! No. A democratic decision had been cast. Someone lost someone won. Simple.

So if there is another vote - a so-called 'people's vote', what happens if the remainers lose again? Another 'people's vote'? Of course, and as Mr Denton-White implies, now that two years have passed since the previous referendum vote, more young people will be able to voice their opinion via the ballot box. But will this last-ditch hurrah bring forth the verdict that so many ardent admirers of the EU want so desperately? Will they be sorely disappointed again? We shall see.
