Remain would loose a second referendum.

All the more reason to have a 2nd referendum then
Beat us by a statistically relevant margin and shut us up for good.

Yes, mmm, only problem is Brussels will of course offer a worse deal to blackmail us into Remain, whereby Remainers would endlessly chirp 'see, we told you a good deal was impossible'.
People would see right through it and thus a Remain win would be deemed invalid. Back to square 1.

A deeply divisive referendum on the EU and the waste of time that was the PR referendum. Rather than examples of direct democracy at work they were both examples of a Tory government using them as a tool to gain/ retain power.

And in between one on Scottish independence - think that could have had something to do with the SNP?

We should put division behind us.
Brexiters and Remainers should unite behind the BRINO we all know is coming.

fact: remainers say EU is united on Brexit.

If you benefit from being a member of club in that get more money out of it than you put in. Then fully understandable. As basic as that.

Law won't be; Davis has already confirmed that.

Immigration? Maybe. We're not managing the stuff we control very well as it is

In Germany the far-right AfD are already being given chairmanship of senior Parliamentary committees I see, including budget; legal affairs; and tourism.
Is this the start down a slippery slope for German politics - before a coalition has even been formed?
