Some of us want a say on how we exit, I just wonder what the problem is with that, or why the government are negotiating at all if no deal is possible.


What's wrong with it is that it would be pointless. Do you really believe that the EU is going to assist us in contemplating a range of options? The deal will be the deal, take it or leave it.

I think it is pretty obvious that the poll was out to make a political point here. What is the point in asking the public for figures on anything? They are bound to get it wrong.

Ask Diane Abbott, she knows!

I wasn't actually criticising you at all, Den. I was criticising the pollsters, who were either trying to make a political point or they were incredibly naive.
