This is the first time I've felt like we're in for another snap election in the very near future...

This is the first time I've felt like we're in for another snap election in the very near future... That would be a balsy move by May, I suspect once burnt twice shy myself, but, when it comes to Europe I'm not sure Labour has much to offer as an alternative, I suspect if there was snap election Labour would look to shift the narrative to other things. |

So, two years on are any of the Leave voters on this forum still feeling confident they made the right decision? and that we will get a good, well negotiated exit deal from the EU that will benefit us economically and bring back together a bitterly politically divided country?  |

I suspect those committed to Leave, will believe that its gone wrong because we arn't leaving enough, they (the committed Leave people) wanted and expect a hard exit, and believe that's how to benefit us economically and bring back together a bitterly politically divided country. They will blame the current problems on a government defying the will of the people. |

As an outsider, it all seems a bit of a mess... I'd say the only thing stopping the Tory rebels from ousting May or forcing another general election in the UK is Labour might get in and things would be a lot worse. Turkeys don't usually vote for Christmas.

I don't think anyone has ever been in danger of forgetting that! I'd say you've got the ultimatum a wee bit out though - it'd be "Make us back this and we resign..." more than anything. |

Were there any leave voters on this forum? You have just outlined exactly why we need a second referendum. Sadly I don't think we will get one. |

fwiw i think davis was probably sincere in his opposition to mays brexit strategy. Boris is an an unprincipled opportunist motivated solely by personal ambition. May and the govt are well shot of him. If labour had a half decent leader who came out for a second referendum that could really be a gane changer but sadly it is not going to happen. |

I agree with this. Problem is, of course, this is far from the last we'll hear from Boris. He'll be back in some form or another, and people will fall for his bumbling, unkempt persona, and not see him for the loathsome - and pretty ruthless - chancer he is.
As for everything else going on, if things weren't so potentially dangerous, this would be fascinating. I've never seen politicians i such a state of array. Apart from the Labour Party, it seems. Do they even exist any more?

Thank god these idiot's weren't in charge during WW II, I'd have more confidence if Froshiber the big talking bird was PM.
All politicians do is act like naughty schoolchildren jeering & shouting while the back benchers just show up for there afternoon nap.
