Two points of clarity on the Benn Act: 1) The Act does not ‘surrender’ any power to Brussels. Parliament passed the law that stipulates 31/01/20 as the extension date, and Parliament retains a full veto over any alternative offer. Parliament is sovereign.
The referendum result would have been overturned had it not been an advisory referendum. No deal has never had a mandate. It will be whatever deal can be reached vs remain in any final say referendum. This reflects where we are in 2019.

“It is very unlikely that the common law did survive to play a role in vitiating the referendum, but if it did it would only do so where there was sound evidence for believing that the outcome would have been different without that unlawfulness. There is no such evidence,"Ouseley

There is no qualification to the option Leave on the ballot and the document sent to all households outlined what no deal meant. You want remain on the referendum but,I would bet heavily you would not accept a leave result. It is where you are but,not the country.See today's poll

It would need to be a legally binding referendum with implementation legislation attached. My acceptance is neither here nor there. As for polls they consistently favour remain and substantially reject no deal. The need for a final say couldn't be clearer.pic.twitter.com/KMezWcBoF3
