Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
I'm not too bothered by polls either way. The referendum mattered, and the elections matter, but not polls.

So let us try a thought experiment, making three big assumptions. All painful for some here, but I hope they agree they are not impossible. Unlikely, perhaps, and unwanted, but not impossible.

Suppose
(a) an election is called next year
(b) Labour is finally clear and says it will leave the EU, but wants to be as close as possible, including keeping the single market and the social chapter on the same terms as now
(c) Labour win the election.


In that hypothetical situation, will the leave supporter here be arguing that the will of the people for such a soft Brexit must be respected?
