People were told a deal would be easy. And even then 16,000,000 didn’t want to leave at all. Polls suggest a majority now want to remain. A general election cannot be reliably used to decide a single issue.

Yes it can, and yes it will. The next GE will only be about Brexit, either the delivery or the failure

That doesn’t make sense. The term is for 5 years and there a plenty of other things the next government will have to deal with.

It will still be the single issue.

It shouldn’t be. It needs to be solved first.

It cannot be resolved without a GE

A referendum would be unambiguous. Also, we’d likely end up with another hung parliament and another impotent government.

Unambiguous? How so? Apparently the last was so ambiguous that we need another. After that, do we have a tie-break referendum? The risk is a hung Parliament, but nothing other than a GE can fix this

Unambiguous in that a referendum would really be about one issue, not about the NHS, poverty, housing, defense, policing, taxation, climate change etc. for the next 5 years as with a general election. The last referendum was ambiguous - it didn’t ask ‘how’. We know more now.

I knew enough then. A GE cannot be avoided forever and it WILL be about Brexit. Either its success or failure. This is getting circular. Have a good day.

Everything you've said in this entire thread supports a referendum. A GE needs to be about more than Brexit a referendum doesn't. An untainted, informed, legally binding referendum is the only way to move forward.
