The clamours for a second referendum are growing. But are those calling for a ‘people’s vote’ really interested in what voters think? Or is this just a plot to stop Brexit? Rod Liddle isn’t convinced about the case for giving voters a second say. The vote to leave the EU was unequivocal, he says in this week’s cover piece. So why won’t the luvvies just accept it and move on? Rod is joined on this week’s Spectator podcast by James McGrory, executive director of ‘People’s Vote’ and Tom Slater, deputy editor of Spiked Online.
On the podcast, Rod says: ‘It seems to me that the People’s Vote people are simply reiterating the same arguments they made after the vote back in 2016, which is that we knew what was going to happen but you’re too thick to.’
In Sweden, voters go to the polls next weekend.
