I don't care, at least it would be honest.

You can't say "Labour want a Hard Brexit" and then criticise anyone else for dishonesty!

 

But that's beside the point.  Because, surely, you do care. If (as is probable) Labour going full Remain were to make a Hard Brexit more likely, then surely a disingenuous fudge to reduce that risk is preferable?

 

Or are you Chidi Anagonye?

Theresa May said the only options were her deal, no deal or no Brexit.

 

YouGov took her at her word and asked 21,000 people what their preference would be.  They then mapped that onto Parliamentary constituencies.

 

Theresa May, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Gnasher might want to look away now.

Rod Liddle in The Scum is arguing against a second referendum, pushing the bizarre line that asking people what they want is a betrayal of democracy.  And he's not just arguing: he's exhorting violence.

The article says that Remain leads by 52-48, which is roughly what it was before the referendum, so almost no shift in public opinion after two years of clusterfuck. It also states that if you remove the three-way preference option, support for May's deal looks much better.

Priti Patel (brilliantly, Vacant came up as a suggested word on my Google keyboard) is now suggesting we threaten Ireland with starvation if they don't back down over the backstop. There's evidently no limit for the level of evil on the Tory benches.

 

Maybe we can set up a Purge style group in the event of a hard Brexit. There are a few people that would deserve an offing, not just Liddle.

I was just about to post that it would be interesting to see the picture if some sort of transferable vote system were applied.

 

(And, yes, for consistency I'll say that a 52-48 lead for Remain is a bug's dick. )
