It post-dated the 2016 referendum and...was legally binding.
The populace elected a hung parliament, which requires compromise. (i.e. a soft brexit)
But as soon as someone says 'soft brexit' the extremists starts bleating betrayal. Hey ho.

Whatever poll you look at, roughly 50% of the population support Leave. Same for Remain.
If Brexit is cancelled, where do you think these people will vent their anger on? They are looking for a platform. Farage can provide that.
If you cannot channel a steam thru a hole, it will burst.
Polls mean nothing, it can change overnight.
Irrespective of what happens to Brexit, politics must change. 500-yr old 2-party politics is unfit for modern world.Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.0 -

It would certainly be interesting to see the official legal advice given to Boris before he made the decision to prorogue.
Particularly if the Government lawyers had advised against it & he went & did it anyway.0 -
The PM shouldn't resign because his cabinet were on board with what was doing. The correct thing to do would be for the opposition to call a motion of no confidence.0

If there ever was legal advice.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was all just another Dominic Cummings idea.Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0
