We don't vote people in to buddy up with each other like nodding dogs but to challenge the status quo.
I doubt there is a majority for a second referendum, revoking A50 or postponing it. According to one of the polls I read today (I forget which one) a no-deal Brexit is more popular than anything else - including Mays deal.

What I'm having difficulty to understand is why we need a second referendum on Mays deal anyway as parliament have already rejected it and, besides, can any remainers tell me what the problem is that a second referendum is supposed to fix ?

I don't want a second referendum and I don't think parliament should delegate their responsibility to voters. That's the lazy way out for them.

I want them to delay or revoke article50 and take time to get a deal or plan that is agreed by all. The trouble is that nobody can presently agree on a way forward. I was resigned to leave but the current situation is nuts. If they are not agreed then they have to buy more time without compromising the economy or welfare of citizens.

Yes I think you make a very good point.

Saying that, if we started again, we would only end up back where we are now. It's Parliament to blame for the mess and Theresa May trying to keep everyone happy.

I still prefer leaving on 29th March with no strings attached, trading with the EU in the same way as we will be trading will all other 3rd countries in the world.

Well you will get your wish regarding an extension to Article 50 unquestionably. It was so utterly predictable. Buying more and more time to keep plugging away at the populous with this pathetic colossal social media campaign attempting to sway people to Stay rather than Leave so that they can, as soon as the moment is deemed right, hold that 2nd referendum.

We SHOULD absolutely just drop out on 29th March. We voted to Leave and if a Withdrawal Deal can not be agreed then dropping out is the legitimate result according to the EU Treaties.

It should happen.

It needs to happen.

But it won't happen

because the EU has no intention whatsoever of allowing us to Leave and will continue to control our government and politicians in order to obstruct our democratic decision to Leave.

Shameful in every aspect. Massively dictatorial. The end of democracy.

But they don't care. Dictators just do what they want to do regardless. . . until they are eventually deposed.

We haven't implemented the first referendum yet never mind having a second one FFS

True.

Sod the politicians, the businesses of the EU will still want to trade with us.

After all, we buy more from them than they from us.

I'm sure you're right.

However, we must remember that the EU could not dictate to us without our own MPs being complicit.

lol JBR. Our MPs are EU people. They are all part of the great pyramid structure, sworn in under heinous oaths not to reveal their secrets blah blah blah. Our government is just an illusory sideshow front.

There are 2 masonic lodges WITHIN Westminster itself FFS.

Isn't it time we uncovered who is really running the show, who is really giving the orders ? One thing is certain we don't get to vote for them. We don't get any input to their policies which remain hidden, except of course for the long standing aim to create a single world government run by them.

No it's actually the aliens. They have been infiltrating our government for decades. Did you think all those crop circles were a coincidence?
