Another Brexit referendum? High profile politicians say there’s a “credible case”

"When are people going to learn, democracy doesn't work," - Homer Simpson.

Over the past two days, two former British Prime Ministers have voiced their belief that another referendum could be held on whether or not Britain should leave the European Union. Former Labour leader Tony Blair recently argued that Brexit could be reversed if the public changed their mind, and now John Major, former leader of the Conservative Party, has voiced similar opinions. Major said, during a speech at a private dinner on Thursday, that the opinions of remain voters should be taken into account and they should not be subject to "the tyranny of the majority." The news was originally reported by The Times and is the first intervention by the former Prime Minister since the decision in the June referendum to opt out of the EU. “I hear the argument that the 48% of people who voted to stay should have no say in what happens,” he said. “I find that very difficult to accept. The tyranny of the majority has never applied in a democracy and it should not apply in this particular democracy.” Major argued that it must be parliament who has the final say on any deal EU deal and there was a "perfectly credible case" for a second referendum on the deal. Meanwhile in Ireland, Enda Kenny has been speaking about the possibility of a united Ireland.
