So, the country is split (more or less) in half between hard Brexit and hard Remain. How do we get out of this mess?
Oh and PS, the number of people who signed the petition Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU - 6,085,326
This Government will not revoke Article 50. We will honour the result of the 2016 referendum and work with Parliament to deliver a deal that ensures we leave the European Union.
But...... in the international standard ISO list of 'countries' Northern Ireland is described as a 'province' not a 'country'. Probably so as not to upset Eire.There I go, being a 'patronising prick' yet again
On the other hand, yes Revoke Article 50, and think about leaving the EU in another 40 years time. You know it makes sense
Err, no, that just shows areas, not the number of people.
Carlisle - I smell no biscuits either.
Biscuit Means Biscuit!
The trouble with referendums is that unless the majority is a big one, the 'problem' continues.
We really have no choice. We need to move on. It is time to cancel article 50.

Two out of four countries in our union voted to REMAIN in the EU.
David Cameron made perhaps the biggest blunder in UK political history.
ou know full well that's not going to happen. There wouldn't be a Parliamentary majority for it. Nowhere near.
Minus the Green vote, which could be as much down to David Attenborough and the fact that the environmental crisis is never out of the news at the moment, as it is Brexit and it's 4,697,611 against 5,802,996.
One country and one province
I think May comes a close second. If, straight after the referendum, she had ignored her hard Brexit ERG and approached Labour to agree to go to the EU for a soft Brexit, (rightly or wrongly) we'd be out by now. The parliamentary majority would be there, despite the hard Brexiteers or Remainers. But of course her pride /obstinacy /self interest meant she wouldn't. Her tactics were stupid. That's how history will judge her.
Are you making this up The Green Party have been absolutely clear they are a Remain Party since the beginning.
