      Yes, I think we know a lot more now about what the difficulties facing us are and it would be better to be able to vote based on this more informed opinion.

      I agree with Dawn. The original referendum reduced an extraordinarily complex question to an ambiguous yes/no choice. I think there needs to be a vote on an actual plan which can be scrutinised so that the UK can make a fully-informed decision. This is far too important an issue for this country to let the outcome be determined by bluster, demagoguery, and cheap slogans, which has unfortunately been the level of much of the discussion to date.

      Yes. I think that people understand more now about what is at stake. Everybody still has the right to vote, and so it is just as fair for both sides.

      Definitely! Mainly because everyone has a better idea of what Brexit means and I think that would change a lot in people’s voting process.

      I’m not a UK/EU citizen, but if you ask me my opinion as an outsider, yeah, I believe there should be one. A referendum is supposed to give people an opportunity to decide over an issue, and if it turns out the issue was misrepresented, or some information wasn’t known when they made the choice, then I think that means the choice wasn’t informed, and they should be consulted again.
