Half the country will have been discounted, + those that may not have voted for Brexit but believe in democracy, such as myself.

Any future looking Parliament will be very different.

There will almost certainly be no outright government. Coalitions will be the order of the day. Enter Farage.
Eighth time lucky, eh?

A No 10 source told the BBC that dossier had been leaked by a former minister in an attempt to influence discussions with EU leaders.
They added that the document "is from when ministers were blocking what needed to be done to get ready to leave and the funds were not available".
Responding to the leak, Mr Gove tweeted: "We don't normally comment on leaks - but a few facts - Yellowhammer is a worst case scenario - v significant steps have been taken in the last three weeks to accelerate Brexit planning."
As I said earlier ... there was a time when all sides in this negotiation were in agreement that ideally the UK should not be leaving the EU in the first place. I’d have been more surprised if a document like this didn’t exist, and I couldn’t be less surprised that it is being leaked now, by someone who was in it up to their eyeballs and is still trying desperately, now from the outside of government, to continue to exert pressure to force the UK to remain as close to the EU as possible.
Look forward to the evidence to back up this anonymous briefing...

Let's get something straight - I hope to God* that this is all overblown, because if what has been published are the "likely outcomes" of a "no deal" Brexit, the poorest and/or the most vulnerable in society, and those least able to cope, will be the ones who will suffer most, and I don't believe anyone wishes that to happen.

*other deities/belief systems are available
