The right-wing press is on a war footing today. Any MP who tries to do his job is a Mutineer. Or Plotting.

You will obey orders! Says Murdoch.

Perhaps what the Wail calls "enemies of the people" will be rounded up so that the mighty forces of Brexit shall achieve their destiny.

yes, I see the trend you faintly allude to.

Another day, another study that says we will be worse off after Brexit:

Our findings indicate that there are no winners from Brexit, but only losers. Both parties involved would suffer substantial losses if denied free trade access to each other's market. However, while the current belief surrounding Brexit is that especially the UK has a great deal to lose, our sector-level input-output approach clearly shows that the EU-27 also stands to lose substantially and considerably more than previously thought. The reason is that EU-27 production networks are closely integrated, which implies that tariff changes with the UK do not just affect direct trade bilateral flows but also indirect trade flows via third countries. These indirect effects are estimated to be very important (typically amounting to ca. one third of the direct effects), which substantially reinforces the trade destruction effects of Brexit.

And yet our Brexit minister (Davis) has no contingency plan if it turned out that the whole thing would be a disaster. There is nothing in the plan for withdrawing A50, even though we are going to be worse off, its just a matter of by how much. There is nothing there that says something to the effect that "if its bad by X much, we should withdraw A50". Utter madness.

There are those of us who just don't care whether we are worse off afterwards or not....... we just want out and no amount of studies, supposition, or guess work is going to change that. There doesn't need to be a contingency plan for if it looks as "if its bad by X much" ...... just get on with it.

A brilliant philosophy.

Should there be an intelligence test for being allowed to vote?
 
That was lauded as an indisputable mandate in the referendum.

Im just providing the figures so they are presented in a balance light.

The referendum result was an exact count.

A poll is extrapolated from a sample, so by definition it has a margin of error.

So you don't care about the country going down the pan. Your view is based entirely upon an ideological falsehood.

I would rather base the future of our country on more than that. That we had a vote that was advisory means that we should have the option of pulling away from the cliff edge. If you think this would make us any less democratic, consider that Sweden has ignored two referendums, as they realised they were a stupid idea, and they made the right decision. They are still a democratic country.

Switzerland has had many referendums, and has also ignored them at times:

We owe it to our kids' future to do what's best for our country, and not what we feel.
