>> Revoke Article 50
You can see the problem with that - the referendum result. So we would really need a GE and a major party to stand on that manifesto (doomed as they will lose a massive proportion of their usual vote) or another referendum.
I'm no fan of May given both her politics and her personality, but I'm coming to the view that the mess isn't mostly her fault. There is no consensus or any hint of a blueprint that will command a majority. Perhaps May knew that a committee would never reach a decision and it is why she attempted to handle negotiations the way she did.
I suggested a week or two ago that the EU should offer a 2 month or a 5 year deferral, and nothing in between. If three years wasn't enough to create the unicorn, maybe we need longer and 5 years would mean it has to be a cross-party job.
