Or, better still, have another referendum. I'm sure the number of leavers would have increased.

Perhaps next time, we should have three options:
1. Remain
2. Leave with the EU's deal
3. Leave with no deal

Of course, that would split the leave vote, wouldn't it?
Don't mention this to the remoaners!

I believe it was re counted several times as Cameron tried to get out of the grave he had just dug himself and was furiously scurrying around looking for anything that would save him from the abyss.......But too late..... He had shot his bolt and also his career as a politician....

Yes, he certainly miscalculated there, didn't he?

Says it all.

If they want to remain viable, the Republicans need to recover their core principles: small government, low spending, free trade, constraints on executive power and strict adherence to the Constitution. The clue is in the party’s name: they exist to defend the republic. The sooner they remember that, the better.

I suppose you could turn that around and suggest that the Democrats defend democracy. The clue is in the party's name!

Trump wasn't always a conservative Republican. Trump was registered as a Democrat for more than eight years in the 2000s. Trump was a registered Democrat from August 2001 through September 2009.

Some conservatives suspecting Trump of acting on behalf of the Democrats, and in particular, the Clintons, to sabotage the GOP.

If there is any truth in that which direction do American voters go.

Based on historic frameworks for affirmative action and recent demands for a new modern era of enhanced segregation, a reasonable person might be able to accurately predict what that constitution might look like.

Quite an interesting, thought provoking opinion piece I thought.

Re: Trump supporters stormed Capital Hill

(Reuters) - The FBI has warned of armed protests being planned for Washington and all 50 U.S. state capitals in the run-up to President-elect Joe Biden’s Jan. 20 inauguration, a federal law enforcement source said on Monday.

More protests serve no purpose, going armed shows a clear criminal intention.

Re: Trump supporters stormed Capital Hill

I say once more, why or why would anyone sane even want such a job surrounded by that much hatred and loonies?

I will not be surprised Biden is assasinated.
He would be the 5th President for this to happen to then, I believe.

Who wants a stinking job like that ey?
