Proceeding contribution from Lord Sherbourne of Didsbury (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 17 January 2019. It occurred during Question for short debate on Brexit: Further Referendum.
Brexit: Further Referendum
No; I said that we should accept the result of the referendum but that public confidence in the acceptance would be eroded. If we have a second referendum and the public believe that the politicians have said, “We don’t think you made the right decision; therefore, it’s invalid”, they will think, “Why is the second referendum more valid than the first?”
