A second vote can never happen if we are to maintain the UK as a democracy.
A second ballot with REMAIN as one option and LEAVE with the deal of the day which parliament has shown they will not pass under any circumstances is, in effect, giving the electorate the choice between Remain (the people's new choice) or REMANI (due to the wishes of parliament).
If any politician is stupid enough to give a nation that voted clearly to leave, a choice of remain or remain then the majority of people will simply not vote. Then what- say we get 10 million for remain and 5 million for leave with the deal of the day - where is the mandate when over 32 million voted the first time.
This and other ideas have been put forward for nearly 3 years by people who voted remain and just can't accept our democratic decision to leave. 8 out of 9 English areas voted to leave, only London, where 40% of the population were born abroad, voted to remain. Remaining would confirm that the country is run for the benefit of London and not the rest of us.
This is what is going to happen - the Conservatives are going to elect a strong leave leader as they know leaving is paramount to their survival as a party. The message to Europe is we are leaving on October 31st come what may, deal or no deal. Then we agree a deal or a temporary deal to alleviate the problems (all massively exagerated) or we leave anyway.
Between now and end of October the government do what it should have been doing all along and prepare for the exit rather than trying to stop it. Wages are rising at 3.4%, well ahead of inflation, we have record high employment and record low unemployment, we are creating new jobs at the fasest pace ever - whatever job losses occur will be easilly met by new jobs as we look out to the whole world and are no longer constrained by looking inwardly to the tiny and inefficient, overly beaurocratic, controlling and power craving European Union.
