Further proof the Lib Dems remain an utter joke of a party.
Obviously the senile old twat learnt nothing from the last election that voters didn't agree with his party wanting another EU referendum that's why his party has only a few members of parliament that will have as much clout as the greens in other words fook all.
No he wasn't articulating half the population at all, more like a small minority. Most remainers have accepted we are leaving but he and his party have peddled he whole "we might stay in" line and even ran a general election campaign based on that mantra which result in a grand total of 14 seats. They are wishing to stay in despite the will of the people clearly not being with them. One of my colleagues at work (lovely guy) is a Lib Dem member and campaigner and fully believes we should stay in and ignore the democratic vote we had. Ironic for a supposed Democratic Party. That's why I said they're an utter joke of a party and I stand by that.But the proposed second referendum wouldn't be a re-run. It would be on the terms of any negotiated Brexit deal. If we can put our membership for the EU up for a vote, without any proper consultation or debate as to what that would actually look like in practice, I don't see why we shouldn't put the final settlement up for a vote too, especially as the two main parties have very ill-defined policies in terms of what they'd actually like to accomplish (my own personal opinion is there really isn't much of an appetite for this but I don't think it's a silly policy. I think it's actually probably rather sensible in the context of the last year and a half. If people believe in direct democracy - conducted via referendums - they shouldn't be averse to people voting on the form of Brexit we might adopt).
Personally, I don't think Cable's said anything remotely controversial. There are quite stark divisions in both the Conservative and Labour parties. There is a possibility the economy will deteriorate and people will have a rethink on Brexit. A lot of polling indicates that people are very keen on both immigration controls and free trade - they may very well not be able to have both! My personal opinion is that Brexit will happen, much to the detriment of the country, but I think you'd be foolish to make any absolute predictions. Two years (an optimistic negotiating window imo) is a long time in politics.
May I also just say that I do think it's funny that someone making a not unreasonable point is derided as a "senile old twat" and leader (?) of an "utter joke of a party" when he's largely just articulating the views of err... nearly half the population! It's rather sad that the fervent Brexiteers seem unable to countenance any dissenting views on the matter.

Edit: minority then, no "small".
It's like they know they're fucked so just say whatever pops into their tiny, inbred brains. Johnson just blathers away with this sort of nonsense in the hope that the Blukip weirdos will lap it up.This govt is fucking incompetent. No post Brexit plan if there's no deal.

I ( almost) feel sorry for the more sensible in the Tory party. They must wake up and wonder what new hell is to be unleashed. Just waiting for May to kneecap a toddler whilst dressed as a Klansman.
I honestly don't think they give a shit. The Brexit campaign was fought and won on nothing really. Slogans, a vague sense of jingoistic, hubristic fondness for a lost empire. There wasn't a great deal of detail or critical thought involved. This bluff and random shouting is just a continuation of that campaign.How can they not have a plan one way or the other? David Davies etel have wanted this for years, why did none of them have a realistic vision for a post Brexit vision?
It's like the GOP in America. They've opposed Obamacare for nearly 8 years, but have no plans to replace it.
He's lobbying for multi-national corps leave him alone.Just trying to understand why the Beeb have given Tony Blair airtime again. His opinions are irrelevant frankly.
The economy can't get much worse for working class people
Well both sides won't.Unfortunately they are still blinkered into this mindset that the EU would never let us just walk away and leave the whole UK/EU economy to ruin.
Ah another poll, at least we can rely on these things.....
Also a good article in The Economist:

Sorry an image of my infant son offends you.Your avatar scares the bejesus out of me.
With regards to voting on what type of Brexit we have, I think that's a different question altogether. I personally disagree as I believe one point of the general election was to determine the party to lead us through this on their terms. But we can have another vote if you like but I don't think it would provide a productive outcome because there would be 4 or 5 options on the voting card and each one would get between 15% and 45%. It would need some sort of AV type voting system otherwise you'd never get a majority then everyone would claim it "didn't represent the will of the people etc".
