If it delivers a very clear result then, yes, it might be a major step towards sorting this out. My concern is if it doesn't do so. If it is a knife-edge result, it does nothing positive. Then we have the issues like turnout, voter manipulation, eligibility for voting, etc.

So now the tory party consists solely of its MPs? He can think it should be the right solution - his choice. But it isn't. He doesn't even say it is.

Irony - apparently on 21st and 27th March, malicious obstructions were placed on a railway track. Threatening to bring the country to its knees because "Leave means leave". As if brexit isn't doing that anyway! As I see it, blackmail and threats are what we absolutely do not want from anyone...

I wouldn't put anything past the current government. So long as it seems to be in the interests of quite a number of their MPs.

Just as we are told: Electoral Commission says new Vote Leave investigation 'not in public interest' Regulator’s position is ‘profound misstatement of law’, says barrister Jolyon Maugham...

Very good. :) Perhaps snaffle some that the police have been busy confiscating?

When someone with some sort of standing makes a significant claim about an important issue, it is absolutely their responsibility to make sure it is right before they open their mouths. It is this lack of responsibility that is behind so much of the current political scene. If people really did...

The Conservative Party must appoint a senior Tory Eurosceptic to lead it through the next phase of the Brexit negotiations and delay a full scale leadership contest until after the 2022 election, a Cabinet minister has said. So just what form of "ignore the rules and do whatever we want" does...

"I never make exceptions. An exception disproves the rule." :) (Or add Ramsay MacDonald to get two.)

How many A-levels does John Major have?

Please don't stop. We need someone in a (relatively) sane country to remind us what that is like.

Have you seen the candidates in Newport (Gwent)? Parties represented are: Plaid Cymru, Renew, Conservative, Ukip, Labour, Liberal Democrat, SDP, For Britain, Abolish the Welsh Assembly, Democrats and Veterans, Green Wonder what on earth will happen if a GE is called. Might give you so many...

I was imaging family get-togethers today with various off-spring helping their possibly less than technoholic rellies to both vote and verify. Were my mother still alive, I can imagine just that. A discussion and, if she wished, help through the voting process.

Nothing to stop her just walking away... into the sunset?

Someone is responsible, and that responsibility needs to be identified and called to account. Boris Johnson and Michael Gove under fire on Vote Leave’s law-breaking Conservative grandees asked to account for their role in the Brexit campaign, after group drops its appeal against fine...

Your ignorance of the poem, written by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller, is not surprising. So why should you know that there are many variants of it in which the identified groups vary? However, the point is that those groups (whichever ones are mentioned in whichever version) are...

If there were any bots circumventing the verification process on the Article 50 revocation petition, they are doing an exceedingly poor job. Rate of signing has dropped such that it is still just shy of 6 million. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584

Or a vote of no confidence in the government, (Ironically the current government put repeal of the fixed term parliaments act into their manifesto.)

And we still don't know when it comes to alcoholic drinks.
