It's interesting who is and isn't in favour of a second referendum. I take it as read that most of the people who voted to remain will want a second referendum, in the same way as someone losing a coin toss will ask for "best two out of three".

I'm surprised that Labour aren't backing a "people's vote" (meaningless term - as if to differentiate from those referendums in which animals take part!). That way they could say: we would have got a better deal; you've made a dog's dinner of it; let's see if the majority of people back what you've negotiated. That way (even in the absence of a second referendum), Labour can distance itself from any future failings and blame everything on the conservatives, which seems to play very well with voters.
