I don`t think at 16 years old the majority of youth have a clue to be honest. Not all but I would say the majority. Blame the education system or whatever. My own daughter has 15 GSSE`s at A and B and she would have struggled to pass the 11+. You only have to watch a quiz show these days, for example pointless seems to be the vogue, and you know before it starts which pair are going to go first, the young ones. Maybe that is why in England the minimum age for Jury Service is 18...and to answer Jock`s post maximum is 70 so maybe that is a valid point.

Anyone who believes Britain will leave the EU without another vote is delusional. We have seen it all before, keep voting until you get the result your Government want. Just ask the Irish

I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa.

Wee Nicola will be a thorn in the flesh of the Westminster government for a long time.

Maybe why Boris has landed a decent post. As I said before even from local politics level. Keep your gob shut and we will see you alright.

Is there a need for a second ref. and would it even be legal? I don't understand the legal issues but I would have thought the result is clear enough to be binding.

Ridiculous. What if there is another one and remain then win by 52% to 48%, does that been the leave camp can insist on yet another. When would it all end.

These were 2 different votes. One was to stay in th eu. The other was to remain in UK or not. Do not let snp brainwash you that because I voted remain in eu that I now want to be independent. Being in the eu was not what made my decision up to not being independent.if you look at it independence did not guarantee you to be in eu but that does not fit jimmy (sturgeon) krankies story

There could possibly be a 2nd referendum if Britain doesnt get the concessions they want in the Brexit negotiations.In that situation it would have to go to the country.
