    Any Government who revoked without prior consent by the people in a second referendum or general election campaign would be causing utter chaos. People would rightly take to the streets and a lot of very angry people would likely riot. I'd find it hard to hold it against them in such circumstances.

    Outright revoke isn't an option.

    But it's an attempt at compomise isn't it? Like the audience member who stood up on Question Time, I haven't seen much compromise in the past 3 years.
    (cue the BP rep to say there is NO compromise)
    I think it retrospect we can see that the government wasn't remain. TM red lines weren't remain, the ERGs demands weren't remain. They were trying to hold the party together, but instead they should have let it fall apart.

    I agree, but I was actually referring to David Cameron

    I'm not even sure back then. He should have stood up more for the EU against the lies that have been used to drip feed anti EU rhetoric into the peoples consciousness.

    The ERG have been working on their sterling short selling scheme for years

    The Conservatives sold the terrorists the weapons.
    Labour tries to talk the terrorists out of using them.

    It's obvious that Labour are the bad guys, right?
    Yes, because both the above claims are lies.

    Corbyn has done nothing for peace in Gaza or Ulster. He didn't want peace. He wanted Hezbollah and the IRA to win.

    Inconvenient truths.

    I want everyone to win, don't you? Why does someone have to lose?

    UK terrorists stole their country, the IRA wanted it back. Finding a way that both sides can win sounds a good idea to me.

    UK terrorists also caused a similar problem in Israel.

    Both would take us back to the early seventies. Corbyn will renationalise everything, push up taxes, give in to the unions who strike the most resulting in inflation in double figures (ah remember those lovely days of nearly 20% inflation). No deal Brexit will mean queues at ports, large scale smuggling, no Nissan or Toyota car factories and of course tank tops and flared trousers.

    I agree neither outcome is as good as being a member of the EU, but with Labour there is more of a chance we'll all be able to eat. I would probably be ok, but then maybe someone will mug me.

    Personally I would worry most about the tank tops and flared trousers.

    What if it was the tank tops and flares that caused the free love movement? Does that change anything?

    I'm sure you have been stocking up on baked beans, I'm not worried for you.
