As I have maintained a second referendum is not an issue for me, but what it asks is.

What’d be curious, and I accept highly unlikely, is if leave voters boycotted the referendum. It’d be a legally enacted referendum with no real legitimacy. To lose 52-48 would demonstrably be a shift in public opinion, but what if you couldn’t measure a shift at all?

I think the result would be too close to call, a second referendum is a massive gamble for Parliament. Because, regardless of opinion polls, it is one they could very well lose. Then what??? For them?
A second referendum is a possibility, but I think they will try some other avenue to revoke A50 “temporarily” for an indeterminate amount of time until they are convinced they would win (by they I mean parliament) a referendum.
Can I personally insult you later?
