    Abbott has a fantastic track record of what she has delivered to her local constituents, which is why she gets voted in all the time, she is probably a good example of someone who is a good MP but not Ministry material.

    I omitted the SNP and Plaid in my post, in an effort to be uber fair. They have more fervent supporters who are likelier to stick with their party for other reasons regardless of EU stance. The message nevertheless is that there isn't clear enough support for Leave to blindly follow an out of date mandate, without going back to the people.

    It’s plain to see to any normal rational folk that the country is still split, Farage and his grinning goons will claim a victory. At what cost however.

    Just seen 40.4% (Anti) and 34.9% (Pro), Conservatives (9.1%) Labour (14.1%) on the BBC website.
    At the moment, we don't know Labours intentions as they were trying to ride two horses, but the
    figures seem to suggest that the figures last night show those who want to remain probably "have it."

    Over the coming days , after intervention from the likes of Emily Thornberry and Tom Watson, I fully
    expect my party ( the Reds) will announce they are prepared to support a second referendum taking
    us back to 2016 and 'm still backing what the "experts" are saying, GE probably in October.?

    How do these results matter at all when we are leaving the eu?
    The only thing I’m interested in seeing is whether the tories and labour are humble enough this time round to see the protest vote as it is and accept change. An approach not taken after the last protest vote with UKIP. Perhaps then we can start to take these jokers seriously

    They have the most seats as an individual party but not a majority.
    Two anti Brexit party’s match them greens and Lib Dem’s .
    I wouldn’t predict which way the main party’s voters were tbh as no one knows but they weren’t anti or pro Brexit per se.
    It’s ridiculous when the country is so split that a decision can be made either way .
    The Brexiteers can’t get it passed because they havnt a decent majority and the remainers cant put a stop to it because neither have they .
    Something had to be done about the stalemate and that’s either compromise or a second referendum sigh a clear % of winning margin that truly reflects the will of the general consensus .
    If this doesn’t happen soon our country will go down the pan as businesses fail or stagnate or relocate .
    The will of the people is not a 3.8% majority in any ones book and just because David Cameron couldn’t organise a do in a brewery should not dictate this country’s future.

    A worrying lack of ability to think critically, and Farage feeds off this vulnerability. So many people are apathetic and don't have the time or inclination to look into things for themselves. They just accept something as fact because it affirms their world view.
