I tend to expect a lack of attention to detail from those who continue to believe that leaving the EU is a wise idea. Well, I've read quite a lot of what you've put up.....You make the discordant argument that we apparently shouldn't be able to influence parliamentarians with referendum results....However, MPs are only in parliament because they won voting contests.....So essentially you are picking and choosing what parts of democracy you like and....oh look....it appears it's just those parts that suit your own politics. I wonder if there had been a referendum on whether we should have entered into Blair's Iraqi war and it came back 'no'.....I wonder if you would have made the same argument.

Grieve has just stated that this is wrong, a 2nd referendum would take 2/3 months, fit in with an Article 50 extension of 6 months. It doesn't take as long as that for a general election either. I think this is unlikely, under Electoral Commission rules the campaigning period is three months.

I would assume it would be shorter than 14 months as the government has a template from 2016. However there are rules they would have to follow and of course what question to be asked. Then after the result dealing with the fallout and possible negotiations with the EU which is why I said 1 year. If the referendum is "rushed" I suspect the losers will cry foul so it has to be done right. I would assume that the government would be guided by the electoral Commission on the whole process. I am hoping that Mrs May is sounding out the rebel Tories and the DUP as to the minimum to rescue her deal. If it is just the backstop she can then go to the EU and tell them give us a concession or its no deal. She will not be Prime Minister for much longer so if she is thinking of her legacy does she want to go down in history compared to Neville Chamberlain and Tony Blair? Or is she the woman who keeps her word and delivers Brexit even if it is no deal?

I had a boss years ago who used to say that as he was blessed with such a good brain he tended to get to the right answer quicker and more often than the plebs. You didn't work for BP did you?

Personally, I don't understand it as they believe the people, god, and St Harry are behind them, after all we had a referendum over it in which some of the people were allowed to vote, on something not defined, and which we were lied to. I am sure that suits some monkeys.
