A majority in the country voted to leave. Then an even bigger majority in the country voted for the parties who wanted to leave with a deal. Not for the no-deal Ukip or remain LibDems. They voted overwhelmingly for the leave-with-a-deal Conservative and Labour parties

Why should the last democratic vote in the country should be disrespected by the losers?
