I'm quite a fan of democracy but I see real problems with a second referendum. Mainly what should the question be and if there are three or four options how do we calculate the result?
If they happen, the next European elections for MEPs may provide a peoples vote, even a vote for Europe. If every candidate was encouraged (forced?) to state their personal position on Brexit (no deal, this deal, that deal, remain etc) we may get a revised view of the will of the people.
This scheme is complicated by the party list PR election system in GB. Does anyone know how the preselection process works?
I think the selection process for candidates works differently in different parties - some have a system where local membership can decide, and some have a closed list.
