There is currently a slim majority based on polls - but that brings up a whole load of issues. If we redo the referendum and remainers win - what would the turn out look like in terms of the historic turn out in 2016? We had over 72% of the vote turn out in 2016. A huge turnout. What is we have another ref and only 50% turnout, but remain wins.... what then? There were communities that had not voted in generations rock up in 2016. We cannot predict if they will turn out again or not. Then the far right will say based on the % of vote the vote is illegitimate.... it is going to be an on-going fuck up for the next decade IMO.

We need to stay in the EU. Fundamentally we are an ex Empire where some white supremacists still think we have huge male pale and stale balls on the world stage on our own. They are fucking idiots

I do not know what will happen - but I know that the fuckwits on both sides of the house cannot deliver what we need.

I see your Trump and want to raise you Brexit - but they are both as equally fucked
