I agree that they need to be a broad church to attract as much support as possible but that does require Conservative remainers to respect the result of the referendum and accept that sometimes you don't get what you want. I cannot understand what exactly Nick Boles was so riled about. Most of his Conservative colleagues rejected his Norway plus idea. But since this plan would totally betray the referendum result and goes completely against the 2017 Conservative manifesto that he was elected under why was he so surprised?
