We have a problem.

The country by majority wants to curb immigration and break free from the dictate of Europe.
The men who are negotiating the way forward are pro European Union. This is not acceptable.
We need people from the Leave camp to negotiate for us and take the tough decisions and the hard road ahead if necessary.
What was the point of coming out of the EU otherwise?

Problem you've got is that the leaders of the Leave camp - Johnson, Gove, Hannan, etc. - do not agree. They just want to be able to control immigration, but not reduce it.

And given the nature of the referendum, they can argue they have a democratic mandate to pursue that aim. The population wasn't asked why they wanted to come out of Europe, just whether they did.

This is why an election is needed. We had the Leave or Stay, but if we don't have an election based on how to leave, then we just end up back at square one with unrepresentative governance, from a distanced, self interested elite.

An election now could see one or more parties campaigning with the promise of doing what many Brexiters wanted in the first place.
How can we trust them to deliver on election promises?
I see UKIP taking a much bigger chunk of the vote but we still have the bloody SNP making life difficult.
I dread to think how much political upheavel this country will be in if a new government tries to go back on an election promise to curb migration at all costs within out exit negotiation.

I can;t really believe she thinks Scotland can remain in the EU. It's just politics.
If you vote in a referendum you know the rules. You can't just cry foul afterwards because you don;t like the result. There is no justification for another Scottish independence referendum either. The original one was decided knowing that a future EU referendum could see a vote for Brexit. It's all just SNP self serving bulls***.

Well that and the fact that Scotland overwhelmingly voted to remain in the EU, which is now a contradictory state to the outcome of the previous referendum. Now that doesn't mean that Scotland would vote independence either, but its now a choice between the Union and the EU.

And going into negotiations and getting policy through parliament, those SNP seats in the commons could be a major problem, if they join with the Remain MPs, who seem to be something of a majority (very few MPs seem to have been campaigning for a leave).

They could definitely see us off at the pass, by blocking parliamentary efforts to leave, as well as negotiations in trade etc.

What happened to all of the things that the leave camp said the EU were supposed to be keeping under wraps until the day after the referendum?

And that's precisely what'll happen. The Remain camp are saying that the referendum was 'only advisory' and MPs will indeed block Brexit.

They dangled the carrot of 'democracy' in front of the proles, got a result they didn't particularly care for and now they will swiftly take it away again.

C*nts.

Quite. And that would be political hypocrisy of the worst kind.
In one way it would be better for the Tories if they appointed an unelected body overseen by Leavers to negotiate an exit on the terms most Leavers want. That would potentially be very advantageous for them at the next election. It could stop a UKIP surge and finish of Labour who would obviously also be making all kinds of promises if we had an election now.
The question is would the party favour that self servicing tactic over trying to retain membership of the single market along with freedom of movement and risk losing more seats in Parliament. If Corbyn goes then Labour could also lie there way back to contention.
