>>At that point surely there must be a General Election or another Referendum to choose between the only two choices left, i.e. Leave with no Deal or Remain in the EU
How will 48/52 any better than 52/48?
Or do you believe the result will become a 70/30 all of a sudden?
Many people who voted leave did so for emotional reasons.
Some people who voted leave did so as part of a personal agenda.
Many people who voted remain did so preferring no change.
Some people who voted remain did so as part of a personal agenda.
What percentage of each side actually understood and voted for the good of the country?
Because I can see no particular shift in the first 4 groups nor any way the 5th group can become significant.
So we cannot firmly or convincingly unpick it or reverse it.
Add to that, we have breached a seal. Why would anybody believe that we wouldn't breach it again if it suited us? Even if they believe us, they will always snow have a strong contingency against us. That sways decisions.
So let us, without regard to the route we have taken thus far, consider where we should be.
I can explain my view in detail, but an overview is all that is important at this point;
We should be looking for a pragmatic relationship with the EU. We should be looking to be as close to the EU as possible, with every deal possibly, including the so-called four freedoms. But we should not be part of the EU. We should never handcuff our selves to a single thing so thoroughly ever again.
We need to have deals, where the continued advantage of the deal is all that keeps us in it, not the impossibility of leaving it.
And from here to there does not involve a new referendum. It involves the fanatics on both sides winding their necks in and both working for the good of the country.
The details are only just beginning to make sense to me, but I am increasingly convinced it is the way forward.
