[A 2nd EU referendum would be a] betrayal of the vote of the British people

[I have concerns] about the democratic implications of another [EU] vote

[No-deal Brexit would be] just as much a betrayal of the referendum result as not leaving at all

Years of uncertainty caused by a future EU referendum would hit jobs and growth and this is not in the national interest

I don't think that we should just embark upon these questions lightly because people will rightly ask what is the point of voting again in any future referendum or indeed election. So, there is a real concern about democracy but also there's a concern about democracy if we do crash out of the European Union and it's not just a concern for democracy, it's also a concern for the economy, for the future for young people, for a whole raft of economic issues.

We have to respect the decision that was made in the referendum ... otherwise, to be frank, we undermine all confidence in our democratic process.

My fear is that if we did have another referendum, we might get the same or similar result and the country will still be divided. Somehow we have got to try and bring the country back together again.

This [ending EU migration rules] will hugely increase the damage cause by a no-deal Brexit

Anything but a yes vote to this question would do injury to our reputation among fair-minded people everywhere.

The EU referendum result could be hijacked by forces of racism, intolerance and hate

What we do know is that if we do not leave the EU it will mark the end of democracy in the UK.

[Brexit would have a] calamitous effect on our cherished public services

Imagine going back to the people of this country and saying 'you got this wrong in the referendum, you may have turned out in record numbers and most of the country voted to leave but nevertheless we think you got it wrong and we are going to run it again'. Imagine the hate-filled campaign that would divide this country. I do not think that is a price worth paying.

If this deal is rejected, ultimately what we may end up with is not a different type of Brexit but Brexit paralysis. And Brexit paralysis ultimately could lead to no Brexit. I'm saying this would be (an) incredibly damaging breach of trust and it would also be very bad for Britain's reputation abroad, having decided to leave the EU, if we in the end for whatever reasons found we weren't able to do it.
