Not publicly at the moment as there are much more pressing matters but after the dust settles I would expect the whole issue to become more prevalent so we can avoid this fiasco ever happening again. Holding public consultations so the strength of opinion can be tested and publicly debated in a way that engages people is wise. Asking them to determine policy is madness. It throws our country into the winds of fortune and which way they blow can be hugely influenced from malign forces overseas, interest groups and money. I'd rather trust our representatives.

A little bit fanatical here. Reminds me of 'Judgement day is upon us all' (yet again) 'repent, repent, or burn in the fires of hell'. Whatever. You'll be waiting a long time for the second coming of Jebus. And yes that was a deliberate misspelling. If you think such a vast system with countless vested interests and impenetrable power structures is simply going to implode, no questions asked, you're mad as a hatter. There's certainly another crash coming at some stage, but that doesn't mean the whole of the EU ceasing to exist. See 2008. I bet the same people were offering up the same tripey foretellings. Any and all options, on and off the table, will be used to preserve the status quo. Also, may I add, if the EU did come to an end as you seem convinced it will do almost as soon as next week, then it would need to be through such a severe event that your way of life as you know it now will be completely destroyed. Job lost, no future, begging for scraps. Although maybe that's a good thing. It would certainly be a wonderful case study in having your cake and eating it.

I am not the least bit "red with righteous indignation"! I am just observing and commenting on how I see things likely to develop. The time for indignation would only arrive if Parliament is somehow prevented from acting for that would really be a big deal and a constitutional crisis. For it is absolutely NOT Parliament that is trying to "thwart the will of the people". That is just the bs excuse of the arch Brexiteer. Parliament's job is not to allow a 3 year out of date referendum to determine policy if they believe it is not in the country's interests. That Bogus Johnson and his little band of self serving supporters are using that as their justification is simply to wind up people like you. They no more believe it than in the spaghetti monster. When will you people start to understand how representative democracy actually works? The "will of the people" is delegated to their representatives to determine. We don't determine what the policies are and then delegate MPs to carry them out. From what I read there is now unlikely to be a vote of no confidence as this could play into Johnson's hands and give him the chance not to resign but call an election after Oct 31. What seems most likely is that Parliament will force through legislation requiring their approval of any deal, or lack of a deal, prior to exit, thus amending Article 50. If necessary through all night and weekend sittings. The Speaker may yet have some actions up his sleeve. Then there are, of course, the legal challenges. Parliament will have it's way, as it must or our whole system of democracy would be torn apart. But its only gone on that long through the obfuscation of the remainers...you cant have it both ways old boy. BTW have you tried the Garlic Bread yet?

Whether they will is another question entirely but there are some very intelligent people in Parliament who are very much more aware of the issues we face than we are, and have access to all the expert advice they need. I would not be the least surprised to see some regulations introduced on when, how and if a future referendum could be called and what it's legal status would be. My guess being than any referendum result that had a significant impact on the future direction of the UK would be subject to a cooling off period and not be permitted to take effect until after a GE had confirmed a new Parliament which approved of it.

Why? Referendums are not part of our democracy and those that claim otherwise are lying. Our system depends on the will of the people we elect as MPs. Our job starts, and ends, when we choose them. Did you vote in the referendum?

The 2016 referendum was a load of old cobblers and everybody knows it. Did anyone have any knowledge of the Good Friday Agreement and subsequent law, no they didnt, or anything else except their own selfish prejudices against 'Johnny Foreigner'. The quite dreadful withdrawal agreement, worse than remaining in the EU, complies with the Good Friday Agreement/referendum, it is legal. Leaving with no-deal is obviously not, we can only imagine what may happen. Tbh the EU should have booted the UK out.

Got cornered in the pub last night about how Boris is worse than Trump and that the Queen is to blame for the current situation. I simply explained that I'd prefer them any day to Macron, Merkel and Tusk and most people agreed.

Problem is they lack the balls to do it knowing what a cash cow the UK are.
