[Magdalen] Brexit 2nd vote?

[Lynn Ronkainen]

What is interesting is that the UK clearly has a system to follow, whether 
they decide on a 'do over' or move forward.... the remainder of the EU wants 
them to leave *now*....  Strikes me that each country does have a different 
governance structure with various nuances, and so this is the first time 
that a country *wants* to leave, and it will be a new circumstance that will 
have it's own wobbles associated with it no matter who wants what when.
