The terms of exit that were voted on in the referendum were a fraud created with the help of Russian agents, Now that the real terms are known, the people must have their say-it’s not to late for a legitimate referendum with the real-world options clearly laid out.
You’re just delaying the inevitable, Prime Minister.
Arron Banks, Nigel Farage, Cambridge Analytica, Steve Bannon, Tom Barrack - y’all got some 'splainin to do, comrades…
I still find it utterly bizarre and baffling that UK politics have not effectively sorted into pro-Brexit and anti-Brexit parties on the eve of the most important single vote in at least a generation.
It’s like if you got a 60/40 vote from the [Party A] and 50/50 from [Party B] in the House to impeach [Party B President]. Like… how can you get up to 50/50 in B without near-unanimous support from A?
And Brexit is way more consequential than a mere US impeachment.
Doing a big thing badly. Exhibit A.
And in US even gold and oil are starting down today.
And yet neither party’s leadership apparently supports this idea!
Way to go Scotland! SHOW THEM you aren’t just a little satellite in their political games.
Well I think the (very British) answer to that is that Labour is focused on a redo of the referendum – which is a more indirect way of (sort of) taking an anti-Brexit position.
For all the hemming and hawing of the fecklessness of Democrats at home, Labour’s total inability to say “Conservatives tricked you into a disaster for the UK which will carry on for generations” is just astonishingly pitiful.
Although, those who voted for Brexit don’t particularly care about the UK. It’s best understood as an English nationalist movement. So maybe we should not be surprised.
Can we just redo 2016 altogether?
My impression is that there’s a sizable trade unionist / protectionist contingent within Labour that isn’t necessarily opposed to the idea, but might not like the details.
May can prove her leadership and do a great service for the UK by maneuvering the issue back to voters in a new referendum, to overturn the narrow and fraudulent result of the first vote.
And completely unsurprising. Labour sometimes attracts a strong voice or two but, as a party, they’re inevitably mealy-mouthed. And isn’t it just so very British to take the most indirect route 
After all this I really do wonder how it will end? Will Britain actually end up leaving the EU? Will the plans fall through and they withdraw the exit request?
If the Pound drops below the Dollar I know where I’m going on Vacation this summer.
I have always been a fan of Edwin Newman and his approach to language. In his case, Newman was concerned with slang, euphemisms and their damage to understanding of concepts.
For example, the use of the term “bailouts” in 2008-2009 probably had millions of people interpreting them in opposite directions.
With regard to Brexit, the only people who REALLY were in tune to what it actually meant were those who were the schemers who foisted it on the U.K.
The sad chaos going on in the US, Britain and France - just to name a few - are leading people to the conclusion that democracy is failing. What is actually failing is the end point of capitalism, where the interests of the wealthy are protected at all costs, including the complete and total destruction of the middle class.
I have a never seen a country so willingly place a gun to it’s temple and pull the trigger…
