June 2016: Leave wins referendum
June 2017: Public given chance to vote for pro-leave or pro-remain parties at General Election. Pro-leave parties win 84% of the vote share
August 2017: Opinion polls show 70% of people want UK to honour the referendum result, regardless of which way they voted
And yet absolute ****s like this STILL claim there's no mandate for leaving. Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

Well, the PM dissolving parliament and telling the Queen would be the obvious first step. If that doesn't happen within the next month then October is out. If October is out then this year is probably out and we are into April/May.
Certainly if it is going to happen the Conservatives would want a short campaign. I would be stunned if they went in again with May in charge but that is the rumour.
Yes "want" is possibly the wrong word. Though, while I would understand why the you can't just have referendums willy-nilly, it's very interesting that people like Monty who evoke the whole "it's the will of the people" meme, are absolutely terrified that that the will of people in August 2017 might be sufficiently different to that of June 2016, to reverse the decision. Funny old game democracy
Well it was a very tight decision in the first place. It may well go the other way if we did it again (I suspect not, but you never know).
On balance, they waited ****ing years for a vote and they won it, albeit narrowly. Kind of has to happen now if only to honour the process.
