It doesn't matter what people think now. It matters what they voted. We have options of hard Brexit, soft Brexit, smooth Brexit, etc. We don't have the option of a Hokey Cokey Brexit.

The only option is hard brexit.

The EU27 will not give us anything else.

There will be a "Soft Brexit" with the UK half hanging out the EU but with a promise of a "Hard Brexit" later on, and so the "Soft Brexiteers" will be happy that there is a "Soft Brexit" and the "Hard Brexiteers" will be happy because they will think that "Hard Brexit" will happen sometime in the future, and the UK will live happily ever after.

...on the other hand it could be that the electorate gets p**ed off and votes out the government and so a future Lib/Lab coalition makes the "Soft Brexit" permanent.

I think this is where we're heading, probably in about two elections time.

Pro-Brexit newspapers 'panicking' that voters will want second EU referendum

Pro-Brexit newspapers 'panicking' that voters will want second EU referendum

A senior Labour MEP has criticised the right-wing press about his amendments to an “obscure report” about Brexit as “silly and contrived” and said their concerted attack on him shows they are panicking over the likelihood of a second EU referendum.

Richard Corbett, deputy leader of Labour’s MEPs, was accused of “plotting to sabotage Brexit” by amending European Parliament legislation.

He also drew criticism for suggesting Leave voters may want a second referendum in order to change their mind.

...“I would argue that if there is a mandate for Brexit from this referendum, its surely for one that works without sinking the economy.

“And as we go on it turns out to be rather costly, then people who voted leave at no cost – because they were told there would be no cost, there would be a benefit to the NHS – when they see that it’s going to be a rather costly exercise, then surely they are entitled to say: ‘Hang on a minute That’s not what I voted for, I want the opportunity to reconsider?'”

Indeed. With that quote coming from the mep caught changing the wording of a report into the impact of Brexit.

Who would have thought a Pro-European mep would do a thing like that!

The next general election will be fought on Brexit. The only chance that labour have of winning is a pact with the Lib-Dems to have a second referendum on an in/out basis

Just to add, I think the GE will be sooner rather than in 2010. It will be a lame duck government by the end of next year.
