I actually think the entire country has been betrayed by the entire political class, Left to Right, Remain to Leave. Europhiles were arrogant idiots for integrating us so deeply, without our consent, and denying us all those promised referendums.
Just one vote - on Maastricht or the Constitution or Lisbon - would have vented the public’s anger, integration would have stopped, and Brexit would not have existed as a word, let alone a political calamity.
But the behaviour of the hardcore Leavers since the vote has been as misguided and as shortsighted - as witlessly damaging - as anything europhiles ever did. I was wrong to align myself with them.

Thanks SeanT. Pretty much agree with you, epart from the leaving PB bit.
The trouble with any kind of extension, is the EU elections issue. These elections will be won by Farage's Brexit Party, and his new party will be established in public mind.
He will then be running at next GE on a full blown betrayal of the People act. Dangerous waters.
Are you sure? The Brexit vote will split between Con / UKIP / Brexit / Lots of UKIP splinters I reckon Labour might do quite well.
Why would any Brexit supporter vote Conservative ? An utterly wasted vote. Particularly under PM May.
Which other party could deliver Brexit ?
No ones going to deliver anything at The Euros are they?
Well, they'll deliver themselves a mighty big salary plus expenses for no required work. There is a part of me that wants to stand. I shall form the "EU smells of poo" party. When I win a seat. I shall stand up in the hemicycle, state that the EU smells of poo, then go home and pocket my salary. This is the most realistic plan anybody has produced regarding Brexit.

You need to vote for a leader who has voted to leave the EU in both referendums, voted against the EU at every stage of its development, and voted for no-deal at every stage of the current process.
Ohhh, Jeremy Corbyn .....
Did we work out if he was a Russian spy in the end? Because if he is, he's doing the Motherland proud.

In the 2017 GE Brexit was irrelevant to my vote. Keeping Corbyn out of power was the only thing I was interested in. The same will be the case if there is a GE this year. Alas, my vote will make no difference at all as the Labour MP has a large majority. So my choices are:-
1. Voting for the Lib Dems. These days that’s the electoral equivalent of a pity fuck. 2. Abstaining in person. 3. Spoiling my ballot paper by writing rude things on it
Make sure you draw outside the box! IIRC someone drew a phallus inside one of the boxes and it was accepted as a legitimate vote.
I'm in a bit of a unique position with regards MPs and Brexit here. My old Tory MP, Lee Rowley has consistently voted against the Gov't implementing the vote. But since I moved my new Labour MP, John Mann has consistently voted with the Gov't on the most important issue of the day.....

May should revoke and immediately resign. New leader has until GE 2022 to come up with an exit that works.

All the British people ?
Over half!
Not according to current polls, ofcourse ;.)
Not ever really - 37% of the British people.
"The British People" is usually code for "people like me".
In this case it just meant people who voted for the winners of the 2016 referendum, which does include me though I suppose.
Fair enough. I'm just a little fed up with people wittering on about The Democratic Will Of The People in a narrowly-squeaked [Pyrrhic] victory.
Unfortunate that is (usually) the way with binary choices. Manchester United did the treble in 1999, despite being battered in the CL final, winning the league on the last day of the season and being a penalty kick away from losing the cup semi... but ‘look in the book’ as they say.

I've not had much time to assimilate all the info about what's been going on today, but my understanding is as follows:
1. The Deal has been defeated for a third time, but May is likely to attempt to bring it back for a fourth. Dead horse flogging to continue ad nauseam. 2. Brexit Day is now scheduled for April 12th, but the effective deadline for Parliament voting for any option that might lead to Brexit with a Withdrawal Agreement is April 9th, because the European Council expects any proposal to arrive with it for consideration no later than the 10th. 3. MPs are going to attempt to find a majority for a way forward again on Monday. If they're still deadlocked after that then it's still theoretically possible that they could settle on something through one or two more rounds of voting, though more likely the remaining week thereafter will be eaten up by mutual recrimination and the attempts of the Government to somehow secure MV4. 4. Therefore, if Parliament doesn't vote for a positive outcome on April Fools' Day that the EU can accept - and I don't see much likelihood of anything other than a Deal vs Remain referendum coming to pass at this stage - then MPs are either going to have to resort to the Revoke panic button (probably on the 10th or the 11th, once any lingering hope of any other possible way out of No Deal is dead,) or they will simply sit there like a complete field of wet lettuces and hand total victory to Andrew Bridgen, Bill Cash and the rest of the diehards.
If only the EU would kick us out. It would implement the referendum, free us from Temainers trying to block it, and allow us to get on with the rest of our lives.
On a lighter note, it gives me some satisfaction to see the revoke petition has still not reached 6 million.
There's a herd thing there. I really don't know if its the power of social media genuinely percolating themes, or whether it is in fact idiots (who may or may not work in the Kremlin) pumping the numbers. There will of course be a degree of both.
I will say though that should I ever meet someone who signed the revoke petition then I'll hold them forever-more in low esteem. Sort of surprising that I genuinely don't know a single person who has said they'd signed - admittedly I've not asked.
Well, here is one Brexiteering sinner who abjectly repents, in so many ways. William Glenn was right and I was wrong. Brexit is undeliverable in any meaningful way that doesn’t severely damage the country.
