I would think the fear of a corbyn and his marxist crew in charge trumps the brexit or not debate.

To qualify that, I think if only a no-deal is available, then he will go remain.

But I may be a MOTD pundit, in which case ignore.

I put it down to multi-tasking.

Anyway, clearly 3 options wouldn't work.

The only only possible option is no deal versus whatever deal Boris comes up with but it's not a good idea as apart from anything else that requires another extension. Got to leave now.

Okay but the Electoral Commission has previously ruled out this type of multiple choice question as too confusing. As they approve the "question" my understanding is that it will have to binary.

Now bearing in mind that people complained about the binary question asked in 2016 I think you can multiple those complaints for this type of question.

What happens if someone votes Remain and No Deal.

I get your frustration it's messy which is why we are where we are today.

One more point

You're not alone in that view, Jimenez.

Is Jeremy Corbyn doing well or badly?
13% Well
72% Badly
Net -59%

I always figured that there was maybe a 30% minimum level where people basically support any leader for the sake of party allegiance. Corbyn is confounding understood norms with his ineptitude and unpopularity .

Also wisbech, lets assume there was another referendum and leave 'won' again, then what would your excuse be?

Do you believe in Parliamentary Democracy?

If so then you must also accept Parliament taking decisions you don't agree with, as we all must. Especially Boris Johnson.

And they can ommit over 75s and allow over 16s as should have been the first rule.
Parliament has it's good points and can make the rules.

My preference would be to cancel the whole debacle and hold a 5 year moratorium during which we negotiate a revised relationship with the EU which probably means we would stop being full members but have some kind of associate membership.

That though seems unlikely to happen for a variety of reasons so my solution would be to request an extension for 6 months, hold a GE later this year and let the new Parliament decide what to do next.

If the Tories, Brexit Party and DUP gain a majority then we leave with no deal. If the opposition Parties who desire a second referendum gain a majority then we hold a referendum, much as I dislike them. If there is a hung Parliament then compromises will need to be sought.

There is nothing ironic involved in believing in the supremacy of Parliament as the place where final decisions are made. Referendums have no place in our system. The 2016 one only gained any legitimacy through Parliament, which they can just as easily remove.
