I’m not saying I think there should be a second referendum. I’m saying how I see this playing out with a lame duck remainer PM and remainer Parliament. If you think there’s not frantic planning for remaining but blaming someone else for it I think that’s ignoring political reality.
It’d be much harder politically to go best of five. It’d be very difficult to argue a second referendum would have an ill-informed electorate after two and a half years of this.

If this deal goes through, and if it doesn’t deliver on the Brexit imagined by the electorate that voted for it, and if the electorate think thT they have been shafted by the U.K. establishment and the EU, then you will quickly see a resurgence in the likes of UKIP or another party, and opportunistic politicians and we’ll be back where we were pre-2016.
The public won’t be fooled.
