We were all told a Brexit deal would be the easiest trade deal in history, we were all told of sunlit uplands, we were all told by May there was no chance a snap election would be called, then we were all told said snap election would increase her majority and make Brexit easier, we’ve all been told plenty of lies over the last few years, hence id advocate a legally binding vote that takes the matter out of politicians hands and lets the people decide between a feasible and nailed down Leave option and just remaining.
Not sure what we were told (always too much rhetoric), but lies or optimistic opinion? OK, I know the old adage, how do you know when a politician is lying, but invariably it is a genuine belief/opinion and/or desire.
Invariably, everything has it's pro's and cons. Sure, some things are predictable, but even then outcomes can surprisingly be not and the proof is always in the eating, as they say.
Is a second referendum going to be any better than the first? Is another general election going to be any better than any other, when it comes to electioneering? I don't see it.
As for the public voting on a feasible & nailed down leave option, surely that is taking things out of the hands of Parliament (which has already taken things out of the hands of the PM).
Besides which, as for a feasible and nailed down option, the Government has not managed to do that in three years. Boris has it right IMO. Let's get out and move on. Nobody can be certain of what the future holds.
