May is not a lamb. She is a mule. Stubborn to the point of being flogged to death rather than move.

We all know that the pollution of our atmosphere by burning fossil fuels causes impairment of brain function. I didn't realise that the concentration of pollutants in the Westminster Parliament must be off the scale.

Yes, so long as we can erase the past 3 years of lies, bile and propaganda that'd be a great idea. Otherwise I can't really see the point.

I was pondering the same about two hours ago myself. I believe that we need to put Brexshit on hold for up to a year, have a general election, with some of the MPs being exempt from standing - May, Bo-Jo, Gove, Fox, Mogg and Corbyn. Form a government of national unity for the duration of the crisis. Then put the choice of WTO, New Deal and remain to the public as a binding vote using single transferable voting. This will confirm the decision. Add to this an objective organisation who will fact check statements and the the deals consequences. Then like France, halt electioneering three days prior to the vote so the public can think. If some stupid media outlet decides to state how to vote, the the process will be halted and the media fined for the whole cost of the delay.

I'll be interested to see if the vote tonight makes illegal a no deal brexit. If it does, that basically ties the hands of the government, they are faced with asking/pleading for a March 29th extension from the EU, if they refuse then the ONLY choice is to withdraw the application to leave. Exit brexit.

Many days I envy the Brits. At least you can have this conversation. In the states, we have a pompus POS posing as a leader signing bibles (with historic support by evangelicals) while consistently breaking all of the "rules" of the hypocritical churches.

It’s an almighty mess we have got ourselves into. I don’t think it would have mattered who was trying to do the negotiations, Mrs May, or any other Tory....it’s impossible to square a circle....or in this case to achieve the impossible and fulfil the wishes of all factions and different strands of opinion in her own party, never mind the country! This idea that our future must all be pinned on a single binary vote on a single day in 2016 is complete madness...the margin in favour of leaving was only 4 percentage points, and yet the rabid brexiteers repeat the mantra “the people voted to leave “... as though everyone did. She put Brexiteers David Davies and Liam Fox in the main negotiating positions, and made Boris Johnson, Foreign Secretary. They all failed and were removed or resigned, so it’s not that they were too agnostic in their beliefs, quite the reverse. Mrs. May is not a natural leader, she is not passionate enough about anything, she should never have put herself forward to be leader of the party, but at the time the Tories had to make the choice, she seemed to be the least worst option. Her days are now quite obviously numbered, I dread to think what may come after her. As for what may happen now, I’m way past making any predictions....like everyone else. What you suggest may sound sensible, and I’ve voted yes in the above poll, but really don’t believe another vote will happen.

My suggestion for a shortest .preparation for a new vote Please vote above

Designate ONLY two organizations to promote LEAVE/REMAIN

Each side makes a 20 min video putting facts and some possible future procedures forward.

Each side shows the other side their Video in secret

Each side prepares a 10 minute rebuttal video and joins them to make a 30 minute video

The combined videos are shown as a one hour presentation on all television channels

An unbiased organization produces 2 min clip videos from randomly selected panel of ordinary voters .

The above are combined into a 1 hour video shown the next night again on all channels.

Have the vote soon after

This suggestion can be improved with more checks and balances at various points

How are you going to achieve that? The information people get is fed to them by the government or the media. The media are controlled by a handful of people who support the right wing of the government. If there is another referendum people will be fed lies in large print and dramatic scenarios and truth in very small print. And what happens a) if Remain wins but by as small a majority as leave won the first time, b) if Leave wins again? Better to park the issue temporarily, have a general election on the issues which are currently seriously damaging the country, then think about the EU later.

Agreed
