Does it matter. If the Tories lose, then the Labour has the mandate to hold another referendum.
Yes, it does matter if Labour win. If they win, they have absolutely zero motivation to spend more money on a referendum. Thus we would never know whether the anti-Brexit votes were decisive, or if Labour's social and economic issues were the more important ones. Just as there is no way for you to know whether voters were really supporting the rioters, or if the ballot was really about something else.
You cannot conclude that the voters were really supporting the violent protesters.
Most of the big rallies were held in June and July. The violent protests have escalated even as the attendants of the so called peaceful protests dwindled. It only indicated that the violent protests have discouraged the moderates from attending the peaceful protests because the peaceful protests were never ended up peaceful. It doesn't mean these moderates stop supporting the pan-Dems camp or the rioters.
Thank you for agreeing with me! I have been saying all along that the pan-dem supporters want attention from Beijing, just as the rioters do, but the people are rejecting violence -- millions have NOT been attending recent protests.
