Letter to the editor from our readers
I WAS interested to see Peter Berwick’s arguments against a People’s Vote on the Brexit deal (letters, 9 August 2013).
I am however puzzled.
We don’t say that the last election result is the only one that counts and no more will be held.
Democracy is fluid - people change their voting intention in light of developments, knowledge of the facts and their own evolving views.
We now know more about what Brexit will mean.
This makes more relevant than ever John Maynard Keynes’s famous question: “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, Sir?”
