It’s often quoted nowadays but Germany voted to end parliamentary democracy and appont Hitler as a dictator in 1933. Not the best of decisions.

More to the point all polls now point to remain being the will of the people as to a certain extent does the march at the weekend and the petition. No political party should really want to force through something voted for almost 3 years ago that no longer applies. That’s a guaranteed vote loser.

As for a no deal vs remain referendum MR, I’d be well happy to vote in that
On the polls, John Curtis - seen as the most eminent pollster was on TV last week saying it's too close to call, with poll averages around 2-3% ahead for remain, which is in line with the polling pre referendum.

You can also look at polling published in the last 48 hours, Comres I think, that shows leaving without signing the WA is now the preferred option and that was also in an earlier ICM poll.


and we already had a no deal - remain referendum and you lost, and haven't stopped moaning about it since
