The problem is that it's a different group that don't want some of those to those that don't wsnt the other. And largely, that means MPs.
We, the people, were asked what we wanted, a binary choice, do we want to Remain in the EU, or Leave?
A large chunk responded to being asked by not replying, and we can infer little or nothing from that. And a clear majority of 5hose voting, voted Leave. If those entitled to vote that didn't now don't like it, and we don't know that that is the case, then they should have voted.
There is a question that I seriously wonder about, though.
What, at this point, do the other EU27 want?
I think it was certainly the case that, at referendum date and for a while afterwards, they hoped we'd somehow change our minds, but I wonder if they still do? After all, Brexit is a UK problem, and this interminable wrangling on this side of the channel has, I bet, worn very thin in both Brussels and especially 27 European national capitals.
If, somehow, we end up not Leaving in a few weeks, just what does another extension achieve? If there's a mutually acceptable deal imminent, that's one thing but so far, at least publicly, that's looking like rocking-horse poop.
Do they want mobths more of this, still probably getting nowhere? I doubt it.
Worse than that, from the depth of the division evident 3ven on this forum, never mind in the rest of the nation where it seems to be every bit as devisive and considerably more poisonous, do they still want us to Remain? Because, surely, they must be aware that if somehow we do, this issue is
not going away any time soon. And Leavers of both Labour and Conservative persuasions have already demonsteated, twice, in EU elections that they're willing to forego traditional party allegiances and vote for Eurosceptic Farage-ist parties.
I have to wonder if, at this point, there might not be a growing feeling that they just don't want us in any more if this, as seems inevitable, is going to continue to fester, wuth a UK inside the EU?
IIRC (and I'm sure I do)
any article 50 extension requires
unanimoys EU27 approval, or it don't happen. Macron let his arm be twisted last time, but .... again? Maybe not. And he usb't the only one.
It might well end up not being BoJo, not being Parliament, not being a UK coyrt and not bring Brex-Ref 2.0 that decides our exit. It might well be an increasinly exasperated EU27 that finally run out of patience.
Wouldn't that be ironic.
