Personally, I think the only sensible thing we can do is revoke article 50. That, at the very least, gives us the option to try this again if we must when we have a more capable government in charge. The magic deal May seems so insistent on delivering has zero support by anybody, despite the fact that the public doesn't really have a clue what it involves and No Deal promises to completely change the face of Britain for the worst apart from in the eyes that arguably have their own agendas. Sadly though, I think it is the option that will end up happening as May is too pig headed to consider anything else.

Should revoke A50 with the promise of a new referendum when there is an actual plan to leave.

Time for another referendum, it's clear the government cannot decide for themselves, so it falls to the population instead, and this time put actual options on the ballot.

I think it needs to be a second referendum instead of revoking article 50, otherwise the leavers will get super salty and probably start rioting. Remain will probably win by like 60%+ and that should shut them up until somebody has a valid idea we can discuss against remaining.

Hard Brexit. The only people who want a second referendum are those who want to remain and those who couldn't be arsed to vote in the first referendum.
Democracy has spoken. We need to leave. |

Many leavers are looking at the mess and saying that they would now vote completely differently.

“Democracy has spoken” is such an odd thing to say when actively voting against democracy.
“Democracy has spoken so democracy must never speak again” ?? Odd.

Remainers seem to have lost their grasp of what democracy means. It's not open to interpretation. |

That time we only ever had one election because Livia kicked up a fuss about the first one being democratic so the rest are not.

Neither is denial from the facts.

Imagine if 'remain' had won and Brexiters started demanding another referendum. I can imagine what your reaction would be. YOU would be lecturing ME about democracy. |

The last time I heard the prof guy from Glasgow uni (who is the referendum voting expert) he said that a new ref would garner the exact same result so he would advise strongly against it

You could well be right, but why do you think there is such opposition to putting up a brexit leave plan up against a remain?

A second referendum would be a blow to the heart of our parliamentary democracy. It would introduce the principle – elitist to the core – that the legitimacy of a political decision rests upon a judgment about the knowledge that informed it. And it would rely on a dirty plebiscitarianism as a way out of the political impasse in Westminster. Those arguing for a second referendum should be careful what they wish for. Chaos is rarely a harbinger of good outcomes.
