In any case given the choice of Boris v Corbyn I expect most top businesspeople would either still vote for Boris or abstain or vote LD rather than vote for Corbyn Labour
Boris against Emily Thornberry , would be a close call.
“Our position remains: no border on the island of Ireland, no border in the Irish Sea and no scope for the UK to pursue a cheap food policy.”

Hundreds of people have also arrived at the Leave counter demonstration for 'UK Unity and Freedom'

We were told that this country would become a global leper shunned by investors and shorn of influence.
And what has really happened?
Unemployment has fallen by 250,000 to a new low of 4.2 per cent while record numbers of jobs have been created – including no fewer than 8 for the former chancellor and chief architect of project fear who has become a glorious living rebuttal of his own preposterous warnings.

If you consider the Lib Dems to be a major party then you probably will next General Election too, if they form our next government after the election on a pledge for a rejoin referendum once we've left then fair enough.
The sooner they both break up the better.... and of course much better the sooner we get electoral reform
"Some have sought to turn the Parliamentary decision on the final deal into a vote between the deal and not leaving the EU, rather than a vote on whether to leave with or without the deal on offer. This was the underlying agenda to the arguments about a “meaningful vote”. It was finally wisely agreed not to put instructions to Parliament on how we should proceed after the deal has or has not been concluded into law. It is difficult to understand why some want Parliament to be able to veto Brexit at the end of the process. After all the referendum decision was made by the people, and the Parliament voted overwhelmingly to leave when it voted for the Article 50 letter to be sent. The UK would be in an exceptionally weak or absurd position if Parliament vetoed the deal on offer and vetoed leaving without a deal. Why would the EU want to improve its offer in those circumstances? And how and why would the EU take the UK back into membership on current terms? The anti Brexit forces claim to be new champions of Parliamentary sovereignty after all those years when they were busy giving it away to Brussels. They have to accept that Parliament has decided to leave and made that clear when it sent the letter. They also need to remember that 3 times now the Commons has voted by large majorities against staying in the single market and customs union. A mature sovereign body has to recognise when it has made a decision."

* 'it' of course refers only to his ministerial brief.
If ever we meet you’ll not need to buy any drinks...
We should have a people's vote more often (such a night of high drama) - providing of course we implement the first people's vote before we do another one.
As for the anti Brexit March today (sequel 10 is it now and we are still leaving!) what's a few thousand people walking in London. After all the same people keep telling us 1.4 million people is hardly anything.
Much better than Brexiters could manage, given most of them are morbidly obese.
As long as pro-EU people were winning, they were able to ignore the unhappy ones. Hopefully, once we have actually left the EU, we will be able to look for ways forward together.
Naturally the pro-EU people will try to persuade us to rejoin. That's fine - if they succeed in winning hearts & minds over to the EU so that we can eventually rejoin wholeheartedly, who would quibble?
Similarly with Ireland. IMHO, the best way forward for those two communities would be to find a way of living together in mutual tolerance & respect. If a large majority of NI and RoI wanted to come together, that would be a cause of rejoicing, surely, not a reason for mourning the break-up of the UK.
Good evening, everybody.
You’re a depraved non-entity. Sadism is all you have.
May has also decided to use , the magic money tree to fund it.
Which could open an opportunity for Labour.

*This* is a rally:

(The other day, a rally against Erdogan before the upcoming election. Organisers say 2.5 million people; that seems unlikely, but it's a lot. The next few weeks in Turkey are going to be very interesting - and very worrying)
"100,000 turnout is not bad."
17.4 million turnout is better.
I suppose that just possible, now that RoI isn’t quite the theocracy it was under De Valera, that the next generation of Protestants might be prepared to consider some form of federation.
And yes I know De Valera’s long dead, but Irish memories, on both sides, tend to be long.
Massively enjoying the BBC Parliament repeat of the referendum coverage. Being at the count meant I only saw bits of it last time round. Keith Vaz looking like he was going to blub a particular highlight.
Sadly for you, there is no Brexit VAR.
Not that the decision would be over-turned.
Hahahahahahahaha.......
Brexiteers managed 17 million in 2016, that is the real total Remain has to beat
No?

This is also happening with several clients.
Not with a bang, but with a whimper. The tide of mediocrity comes in slowly.
Thanks DavidL, and all the gang.
