    that risks constitutional crisis, civil unrest etc.

    I've heard if Trump will be elected in 2 days it will happen (civil unrest), and yet I like him more than the other corrupt candidate that doesn't have a spine of her own.

    There are various ways politicians could get in the way of the process. It's a dangerous game though that risks constitutional crisis, civil unrest etc.

    Those who voted to Brexit did so for various divergent paths - there is no single process.

    As for the constitutional crisis - The 'aged' people with the zimmer frames and walking sticks will get out en masse- i doubt it...

    The only realistic option to placate most people is the Norway/EEA option but 'aged' people won't like it.

    How old is "aged"? Is it only "aged" people who have zimmer frames and walking sticks? In fact these days they don't have Zimmer frames. There is an alternative on wheels with a seat.

    But essentially not true. The French electoral system is better than ours: They vote and then when the result is known they vote again. That gives the electorate a chance to change their mind. When both elections are done and and the final result is known no-one can really argue with it. That could easily be applied to a referendum.

    There is already a constitutional crisis.

    I'm shocked Theresa May said she was confident of winning the appeal.
    It may be that they've decided to amend their arguments. Originally both sides agreed article 50 couldn't be reversed. If the govt now said it can then they may win the case.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
