Not really, Cons are standing on leaving, Libs are standing on remaining.
It was only a mistake because they will of course lose any votes theymight have picked up from leavers.
The converse isn't true for Con remainers if they are reconciled to the referendum result.
There's nothing undemocratic about the Lib Dems position because they can't enact it unless they have a majority in Parliament, which would be under the present system, democratic...

Even I would concede he is not the full Adolf package, but the demagoguery has echoes as does the ruthless propaganda and media manipulation. And, frankly, some of the followers. A nasty man, and a nasty party.
