YOU see a house in an estate agent’s window that you like and the agent (Leave EU) assures you that it is an excellent buy, and you will be financially better off if you buy it.
You make an offer and then consult a surveyor (OECD), who tells you it has dry rot and subsidence, which will result in economic hardship for you and your family.
Just like the house offer, the advisory EU referendum is not legally binding.
Democracy does not stand still, people change their minds and governments do U-turns.
To quote Brexit Minister David Davis: “If a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy.”
