I also second this. It is refreshing to see that someone who has openly supported Leave can accept and agree that the situation we find ourselves in, together with how we got here leads you to a rational conclusion that the country needs to sign off whatever deal/no deal is finally arrived at.

I personally believe that the original referendum is not some holy writ that is not allowed to be challenged. It was flawed on many levels but it is what it is so we have to deal with the consequences.

I find it troubling that any debate on validating the final deal is met with cries of Treason and 'What price democracy!" This is designed to stop an informed decision on what is our and our children's future for decades to come. Just stop and pause for a moment: this is not a vote on whether we should change Sunday shopping hours, it is a decision that will fundamentally change the nature of this country in all sorts of ways, some obvious, some not so.

The first referendum was not an informed decision not matter how many say "I know that I voted for". This is a matter of record. If the case for Leaving is so clear and obvious, then the Leave side cannot fear a second vote ..
