So we've had - independent Scotland yes or no, then exit the EU, yes or no.
What should the next referendum be?

Should London be it's own country?
Should sugar tax be implemented?

Should we ever have a referendum again?

If so should we have more referendums?

Should we bring back Monkey Baiting... that would show the establishment liberal elites in their leafy London suburbs.... which is what Referendums are all about.

Remove 'y' from all days of the week. People shouldn't be asking y, just doing as they're told. Nanny has spoken.

I would like a referendum on getting rid of the outdated BBC tv license

It should be to fix the voting system at general elections.

It's not fair that UKIP won 12.6% of the vote and gained 1 MP, while the SNP won only 4.7% of the vote, gained 56 MPs and are now calling shots where Brexit's concerned.

There won't be one. There is a reason why they are banned in some countries.

We can't allow the peasants to have a voice. I mean, they might actually vote the "wrong way". Terrible.

We have such things as elections with each party putting forward their manifesto. Issues do not need to be extracted from the election cycle for a referendum vote. It didn't need a referendum to leave EU. Likewise it doesn't need a referendum to change voting system.

Do you agree to abide by the result of this Referendum even if the result is opposite to how you voted?

Yes

No

I've said in the past, I think the future of politics should be, where people can vote digitally through apps. I think it'll get rid of party politics as it is, and voting on policies put forward by any party, whoever has the most votes on a particular policy wins. With elected officials for every department, implementing the policies.

Personally, I think the problem with the BBC, is the content. If the money was invested into creating TV series that really brings in money, like Game of Thrones, then I would like the license to continue. They also need to cut down the underperforming shows more quickly and less channels, as more channels just means more expenditure, if they aren't drawing in enough people.

Yet when we had a vote on AV ( the first and only referendum which would have been legally binding as opposed to advisory) only 42% turnout of which 68% turned it down.

We need another referendum (s) on staying or leaving and if there is less than 30% difference in the result either way in the result it should be held again until there is. That way we will have a result that can be acted on without all this argument.

And should that be the figure for all votes from now on or just the ones where people don't like the result ?

What are you on about? So the likes of Doctor Who, Top Gear, Happy Valley and The Fall don't bring in lots of money? And the whole point of public service television is that they provide some minority programming that wouldn't be served by commercial broadcasters.

As long as Tories and Labour have 60% of the vote combined or more, the voting system isn't going to change.

Should misleading voters in a referendum campaign become a criminal offence?

It's a shame that this couldn't be made retrospective.

Nicola Sturgeon is a pain in the butt, dreadful woman, saying that Salmond was not any better
