Brexit Re-do

I'm certainly in favor of more unity in Europe, though I oppose the EU's overreach in laws like GDPR. As an American, I have no dog in this fight.

That being said, it strikes me as odd that the Remain side wants a mulligan on the Brexit vote. London Mayor Khan says nothing is more democratic than letting the people vote. I'd argue that ignoring the previous vote is undemocratic. The British People already spoke, and the decision was leave.

That's how democracy works. Sometimes you lose. I had to cope when my home state voted to enshrine bigotry against me into the state constitution. Sure, it sucked, but that's the price of living in a democracy.
