All this has just confirmed that another Referendum would most likely return a similar result so I don’t know why they are pushing for one
Brexit Party has unsurprisingly taken the UKIP vote and hammered the Tories. It didn’t win a majority and got less than the 17.4 million votes Leave did. “Swept the board” is exaggerating somewhat. Taking these figures and applying them to a hypothetical referendum with much higher turnout isn’t realistic.

All this has confirmed is the country remains polarised by the issue. We knew that last week.
