I always feel a sense of ownership with the YouGov favourability ratings for shortly after the referendum, in 2016, I got into a discussion with the pollster about a line of questioning that I suggested that the firm should do. My desire was favourability ratings on key figures.

Letwin's speech was a triumph of moderation and reasonableness. The only problem is that many of his colleagues are neither of these. Laudable though his approach is he seems to have forgotten that ultimately there are only two voting lobbies in the House; Aye and No. Are MPs who have used their STV (or equivalent) to vote for their sixth least worst option actually going to go into the Aye lobby to bring it into law? I suspect (based on precedent) that they will not.Nigelb said:Letwin is right - if the House bottles this vote, May will run the process into the sand.

But it's true.Pulpstar said:This argument by second referendumers that another referendum on whatever the house decides is a process and not a substance issue is simply staggering.
The substance is CU or EFTA or May's Deal or Canada etc. It is the destination.
Each of them have two flavours - with or without a confirmatory vote.
e.g. Mrs May's deal or Mrs May's deal plus a confirmatory vote.
Substance versus process is a useful distinction.
In this debate I think Starmer and Letwin have agreed that the focus first should be on substance rather than on whether there should be a confirmatory vote. That decision can come late when the substance has been agreed.0 -

The thing is, I don't think the hard core of the ERG necessarily thought they were on to a winning strategy. That's why they are unpersuadable, because they aren't getting worried or upset about not winning, they are just getting angry. Perhaps the larger grouping of them are the sort to get worried, but the first group, and the completely unprincipled like Boris, are more than enough to cause immense difficulty still.AramintaMoonbeamQC said:
