Default Four options left - What should be done with Brexit?

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.

Not true tbh.

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.

It's unlikely that we're going to continue with referendum after referendum until we reach the result you prefer.

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.

Just a couple of the multitude of opinions on the subject that took me about 2.5 seconds to find on Google. Opening your eyes may well show you more.

People voted for leave having no idea what it would entail, forecasts have shown that the UK will be worse off regardless of any deal, why should people be denied a vote now they know the facts?

The only people that don’t want a second referendum are leavers who are terrified that people have realized what a **** show this is and will vote to remain

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.

It's not my job to prove your point, Rob. I could post half a dozen newspaper articles with a views in 180deg opposition to these.

No one is asking for third or fourth votes, only Theresa May does that.
