Really cant see how this can be resolved without another referedum, seems like best option for Bojo to stay in power, if there election the majority of lazy, unwashed that voted leave will vote for Corbyn and that is fact

Ohhhhhhh no it isn't.

It's utter bks.

Labour are coming out as a remain party (/second ref) in case you hadn't heard. Leave voters are highly unlikely to love that...

There were four options on the ballot, all legally binding and without recourse for 20 years.

  • Leave, no deal, no negotiation, sort out the mess once we are out.
  • Leave after negotiating a deal which must be approved by parliament. 2 years to get the deal, otherwise default to no deal as above.
  • Revoke article 50 and try to pretend the last 3 years never happened.
  • Go all-in with EU membership, adopt the EUR, change road signs to km. Wholeheartedly back the formation of the USofE.
I think that should do it. Seems unfair to have a ballot deliberately designed to split either the leave or remain vote so the four-way evens the playing field a little.
So what you're saying is that the 4 options can be broken down into:

1 reasonable option for leaving
1 reasonable option for staying
1 absolute batst crazy option for staying
1 absolute batst crazy option for leaving

Maybe this is how it should be pitched to all the deranged "we voted for no deal" fanatics

Precisely, are there any other possible outcomes?

At least that way we would get to see just how desperate to leave/committed to the EU the electorate really are.

I’d like another referendum.

Each time I’ve listened to this debate on bbc manc radio there seems to be the constant “we were fed lies”, “didn’t know what we were voting for”

Would be interesting to say the least.
