And it has to be GE. The blockage is in Parliament. The people have told Parliament what it wants them to do.

Wise words indeed.

One more point |

Tony Blair, said an early election was an "elephant trap", and Boris Johnson could win such a vote as "some may fear a Corbyn premiership more" than a no-deal Brexit.

Thank you kindly. Jacob Rees-Mogg is far more articulate than 'Yours truly'.He is a man of articulacy and personal charm.

Why not have it on the ballot if you don't like the deal or no deal you can change your mind 3 choices make the argument for or against each. Why is remain not an option? They lost but if the deal on offer or no deal is not what you want regardless of how you voted why not give people the option.

JC could win an election on a remain ticket. It would also rule out more referendums. The polls pretty constant with remain at 56%.

There are a number of problems that I see with holding a 2nd referendum. 1. The question. Whatever the question is some people will be upset and claim it's not fair. So for me a GE is the best of 2 evils. If we have one I hope that the winning side has a good majority even if that means it's Corbyn. The worst result will be another hung Parliament. No one can solve the argument, but a least if you vote leave you know what you are voting for. A GE now is solely on Brexit, that is no good for anyone regardless of your vote leave/remain or red/blue
