You don't know the meaning of the word honest.

Because all you said above is nonsensical - two parties in last years snap election had manifesto's on respecting the leaving decision, they obtained the largest vote share, thus, what you say about the electorate is dishonest.

One party stood on a platform to hold another vote - they gained very little seats, the UK does not want another vote, that was very clear in 2017.

The majority of the people who voted in the referendum voted for Brexit - therefore we are leaving the EU, you need to bring yourself back down from the losers march on Saturday, whatever wishful spiritual energy you picked up on Saturday, with the gang of democracy abusers, is short lived because we will still be leaving the EU.

There will be no second referendum, because the country does not want it, that much is still very apparent!

We keep going - Best of 3, may be 5?

Then we can watch selfishness destroy democracy in this country, because the losing side will keep insisting on another vote...
