You can hate him all you want, Herb. A) he's trying to honour the referendum and B) if you'd prefer a Corbyn/McDonnell government you really do need some help.
My assumption/hope is that the Tory rebels will eventually fall in line once they are put in the position of having to choose between Boris and Corbyn et al.
Pretty lively last night, wasn't it? I thought the Conservative MP chap came across best, Thornberry the worst.
If you took the audience reaction as representative, you would begin to think that the Leavers are growing in number and in the degree of their anger. I really, really, really would not want to go into the next election supporting Remain openly or even having a suspicion about me that I wasn't going to honour the referendum.
Well fair play to the Lib Dems, they have stuck with remain and you here little or no counter comments from within the party... so if you are a remainer then they are the logical choice in England, if you are a leaver TYory or Brexit.... I'm still not sure what Labours position is except a second ref which I think will happen at some stage anyway

Anger perhaps, but not number.

Every poll in 18+ months thinks we were wrong to leave. Even after BJ got elected, it's 48-41 saying it was the wrong decision.
In 18 months, there have only been a couple of ties and a couple of 1% would vote to leave leads. All the rest, and all the statistically significant ones, and the rolling average of all of the, shows more want to remain that leave. For 18 months.
They might be getting angry as it's not working out as they hoped, and their dolchstosslegende is starting. But enough people have seen how bad it's going to tip the balance.
Why do you think no Brexiter wants a 2nd vote? If they thought they'd win, they'd call one.
Firstly, if we have learned anything over the past 3-4 years it is that you should take polls with a grain of salt. Secondly, Brexiters - quite rightly - don't want a second vote because they won the first one and it has yet to be implemented. You can read all you want into it but if you were in the same position you would feel the same way.
I would not under-estimate the anger felt by Leave and it's propensity to spread to those who either didn't vote or voted Remain but were not strong Remain voters. I voted Remain and I was ready to chin Thornberry, the SNP muppet and the Lib Dem slag last night such was their arrogance and the stupidity of their arguments.
If there is another referendum I am likely to change my vote, and I strongly suspect I am not alone.
