One of the sad parts about this process is that the supporters of the project have no regrets about what has been sacrificed on this journey. They are willing to accept literally anything to get over the line .. and at any cost.

I’m not forgetting. For many it’s simply about ideology in any case - you don’t have to look far to see some that won’t even entertain an extension for purely ideological reasons. That’s their democratic right.
Remainers squandered their opportunity for a second referendum or a customs union (some argue that’s not leaving - it’s not relevant any more whether it was or wasn’t) and at some point discourse has to move on. The electorate will not elect a 2nd referendum Government. Even if it did, I’m not convinced remain would win.
