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

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

You don't deny you still would n't accept the result and the Libdems would n't either. Today's poll of 26,000 bucks the trend and the position is always fluid. I would remind you only one poll showed a leave lead in the run up to the 2016 vote.

I would accept the result. I'd have accepted the 2016 result if the leave campaign promises turned out to be true. You can't switch sunlit uplands to fields of shit and not ask the people forced to travel there if that's ok. I'm sorry but that is insane and not democracy.

We, in Remain, need to remember we did not have a monopoly on truth either. Remember the promise unemployment would rise if the vote went to leave or the threatened emergency budget. We are still waiting to see if our claims of economic Armageddon will turn out to be true.

Even more reason for a final say.

The only reason is to block leaving. If leave look like winning, the support for it will evaporate as it is not based on principle but expediency.
