I understand your point, but a large amount of the UK would feel that they had been ignored and may vote in anger for and may go that route
The question is when do you prefer your trouble?
Sooner from the 37% of the electorate who voted leave
Later from the 99% that Brexit has caused to suffer?
As I commented earlier, leave the EU and if things go wrong, along comes a firebrand and causes mayhem.
Some wicked little backstabbing character like Gove for instance

Simple choice really

Here is the latest massive leave means leavemarch in the Mall


Comical isn't it? the Government quakes in fear of being threatened by an attack by a small flock of dead sheep.

looking at the level of support for that leave means leave March amounted to, reminds me of Peter Cook and Dudley Moor when they we playing two Indian Army officers in the Film "The Great Race" and eventually after much chaos their car "The Dawlish Special" finally expired.

Peter Cook accepted defeat with the immortal British phrase, "Ah, well, the weather was against us"
That would make an appropriate moral on a monument to the demise of Brexit.
And very likely reflect the level of outrage in the average leave voter.

Where is tillson when we need him? if ever there was a time for his witty and pithy support of the leave campaign this surely should be his crowning moment.
And old tom too!
Surely we can put the chaos in the house of commons to shame on here, without breaking into a sweat.

very convenient. People keep saying they are a rules based organisation. But only when it suits them
It is a rules based organisation, but rules are not arbitrary, but instead based on principles, and sometimes the principles are open to interpretation. That is why there are Judges. This is a question which had never be asked before, so now it has been answered. I freely admit, it was not an interpretation, I was expecting, but if you read up of the background reasoning , it is logical and consistent with the principles of the EU.

Not sure that's correct. He thought our chosen ones had made a pig's ear of leaving but intrinsically still believed in it.
he stopped defending brexit though.

I, d bet Tories sponsored that poll. Get Labour to call for a GE whilst led by Abbott and Costello...
Come on be honest, would anybody on here actually want Corbyn in power. He, s so obviously incapable of coping with it. He struggles in any interviews, debates or parliamentary sessions. He cant deliver any speech without continually refering to notes and even then gets things wrong.

he's more chance of knitting fog than being elected to pm
you could have said the same about TM in June 2016.
We are in a very strange situation. We know more or less where each and every MP stands on brexit, how they would vote, and yet, nobody knows what parliament is going to do.

Labour will have to change something to encourage me to vote for them. No way do I want to vote for a party that is still accepting brexit at all. However, the tories don't stand the remotest chance of getting it.
