'It’s a waste of time' Remainers tell BBC host they're totally against second vote
A CHORUS of Remainers hit out against a second Brexit vote telling the BBC’s Nick Robinson it would be a “waste of time”.
Remainers claim second referendum would be ‘waste of time’
Robinson sat with the group of Remain voters and asked how they would react to Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron if he walked into the room and offered them a second Brexit referendum.
The Lib Dems has put a second referendum on leaving the European Union at the heart of its General Election manifesto, which was launched on Wednesday.
But the voters, from Bedford, said they didn’t want any more effort or money spent on another vote on the UK’s exit from the European Union.
Robinson asked: “So what happens if he came in the room now and said: ‘I’m Tim Farron, I’m the new leader of the Liberal Democrats - newish - and the main thing I’m going to give you is another say, what would you say to him?”
Remain voters told Nick Robinson they would not want a second Brexit vote
It’s a waste of time, effort, money, people’s votes. I think we should just get on with it
One of the group simply said: “No thanks, I don’t want a second referendum.”
Another said: “It’s a waste of time, money, resources.”
A third, James, added: “I’d agree exactly, it’s a waste of time, effort, money, people’s votes. I think we should just get on with it.”
Their comments will come as a blow to Mr Farron who has confirmed he would force a second referendum on leaving the EU if the Lib Dems were to snatch power on June 8.
The party claimed it would force a second referendum on leaving the EU if his party were to snatch power on June 8.
Meanwhile, the Lib Dems' election campaign spokesman has claimed British voters “have never had a referendum on Brexit”.
Sir Ed Davey insisted nobody has an understanding of what the historic European Union referendum, held last June, actually means.
