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.

It surrenders the Government's right to walk away and deliberately does so to undermine the prospect of leaving. But you know that...

Hmm surrenders the right of the government to use the lives and livelihoods of millions of UK citizens as a bargaining chip. Seems pretty damn sensible to anyone sane.

We can disagree without it being a sanity issue. I voted to Remain but I am not prepared to have a permissive democracy where the “gastric pub” elite think they get to veto popular decisions they don’t like.

You think a no deal is a popular decision? You respect how the leave vote was obtained? In a final say the population will decide. A legally binding, untainted and informed referendum. If not why not?

1) increasingly yes 2) yes (backed by the decision of Mr Justice Ouseley) .The Remain/Leave decision is decided but, we could check deal versus no deal.

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.

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
