Back in halcyon days when I was a great deal younger, I was involved in a plethora of highly complex and protracted negotiations, accordingly I certainly DO have experience in this field.

Seems an eternity ago and I suspect my cerebral capability and capacity has diminished with the passage of time !

What's really laughable is that people on your side of the fence cannot accept that the reason the referendum was called in the first place was not because the decision was "too big for Parliament" but because it was too big for the Tory Party. If Parliament as a whole had been asked then we would not be in this mess. It was held to shut up the Eurosceptics once and for all but went badly wrong. Any referendum can be hijacked by the winds of fortune, political shenanigans, outside influences and money. That's no way to decide important issues which affect future generations much more than ourselves.

Parliament is where the will of the people is represented. No one made a "wrong choice"! It's now just an out of date choice made on issues that have subsequently expanded in complexity with greater clarity over the implications.

Some people just don't get negotiations!!

Still waiting for the mythical ‘better deal’ to be successfully negotiated by anyone... now there’s a leaver in charge I’m sure we’ll get there... unless it was all bulls*** of course.

Indeed. Piers Corbyn is on record of saying that his brother should 'Basically put up or shut up' (or words to that effect, that said I can't recall him calling him a 'c***'
