    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.
    Restless, somebody pour me a vino.

    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. :)

    How are you defining a good deal if you think one is possible?

    Providing both law and immigration is under the direct control of the UK. Then what will be will be.

    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?
