I know that posters history quite well, I have great doubts as to the veracity of his claim.
Well you can't be sure that's true. How about a referendum which would then tell us if there were such people or not? We wouldn't need to speculate then.
By the way, link to latest polls on the subject...
So where does the second guessing stop once it’s introduced into the democratic process?
Well now we've seen what a mess ad-hoc referendums can cause there should probably be some sort of procedure laid down for any future major constitutional changes by that method. Maybe a super-majority of 55-45 or 60-40 required, and if a proposal wins but doesn't reach that level of support then a confirmatory referendum a couple of years later to check the majority is still there.

Changing the rules in the middle of the game though because you don’t like the score seems unsportsmanlike.
If there is a choice between 'appearing unsportsmanlike' and 'wrecking the country' I'd rather choose the former as the least problematic, though obviously it would have been better if there was a properly thought out procedure for these things in the first place.

Try reading post number 4988, there's one at least, and polls suggest there are many more.
If that's the case why is Boris's No Deal Tory party so far ahead of Corbyn's No Plan Labour party in the polls ?
Even that old fraud Tony Blair is predicting a Labour wipeout in any election.
Fact is Boris/Cummings have everyone on the back foot.
I don't think a thread on this forum is any substitute for an actual confirmatory referendum.
