Is remain a party now? Will voting intentions be the same at a General Election.

If Johnson needed reminding that he needs to honour the referendum as he has said this should do it.
There's no way out except to leave on October 31st, or the Tories are finished.
Labour too from the result.

I'm genuinely interested in why you seek to downplay the contribution of the racist vote to the leave campaign success. That's not trolling - far from it.

Was it? That's news to me. Racism in the UK is somewhat removed from 200 years of German history and the eventual rise of Facism.

Yes, the parties are cooperating so thatthe remain vote gets in.
Conservatives and brexit party are standing against each other and splitting the leave vote.

You bet this will be the same at a GE if held this year, this is no.1 issue.

Whatever your politics the remain parties are handling this better tactically.

They don’t appear to have a problem ignoring MEPs nominations for EU presidents and nominating the likes of Ursula von der Leyen instead. Or breaking their own rules to parachute Martin Selmayr as head of the EU civil service.

Junckers' nefarious plan didn't last long; one of the first things Ursula von der Leyen did was demote Martin Semayr and relegate him to Viennese backwater.

Isn't EU unity a wonderful thing?

For now.
Now doesn't count ..... other than to provide a stark warning to the government of what lies ahead if they mess up.

Brexit, UKIP and Cons polled more than the Lib Dems.

The EU was meant to bring peace to Europe after centuries of conflict not civil war.

Germans rate her as an "efficient administrator", lacking charisma and vision.

Yes, I get that, but they didn’t cooperate so didn’t get in.

Don’t get your second comment, it’s leaving (or trying to leave) thats causing division.

If you add the engineered famines, the slave trade, deaths in concentration camps, and the deaths through various partitions, to the number of people across the world that the British Empire just murdered in pursuit of turning the map pink, the death toll runs into millions.

You might want to spend less time ogling German history and more time investigating your own country's bloody handprints.

And another invitation to the Leavers on this board to condemn the racism and xenophobia inherent in the Leave movement, is answered by claims that their racism isn't as bad as other people's.

Again.

I didn’t see that answer you refer to. Could you point me in it’s direction
