The country has woken up to this. It doesn't change a thing. The power lies with the Government and maybe Parliament.
The May plan is doomed, it would seem. Therefore we either crash out, or Parliament reverses Article 50 and we stay in the EU or Parliament calls another Referendum. The latter two are better options for the economy than crashing out, but the former delivers the Referendum.
On that basis, a second Referendum is the logical next step.
At least if we stay in the EU, we can continue pricking pins in the EU Commission and in any case we would never need to participate in ever closer union.
Oddly for a Leaver, despite my support for Brexit, I never had a problem with EU freedom of labour movement.
