We voted on the referendum against a Remain Manifesto and a leave manifesto. The Leave manifesto won. Remain say the leave manifesto was all lies. What’s new?

Leave has not yet had a chance to deliver anything. We don’t leave until next year. We won’t be able to judge if leaving was ultimately successful or a failure for a long time. I think we need many years but i’m Willing to revisit it after 5.

The public get to revisit that in (a maximum of) five years,

Fair enough, let’s revisit the referendum in March 2024, at the earliest.

and indeed elect a party willing to undo any changes made in the previous five years has the right to put it in a manifesto.

no problem, if we’re in our 5th year of recession and on our uppers then we can revisit it. Likewise a party can go to a GE at the next election on a ticket of rejoining the EU if. They think there is support for it.
