Just to point out that whilst the country voted to Brexit nowhere on the ballot paper did it say what Brexit would look like. Just as the Remainers may have voted to remain for different reasons so too, I strongly suspect, did the Brexiteers have differing reasons for wanting to leave.

@roberta - yes, i know what is going on. Your point in posting that link is? I am more and more of the opinion that whatever the outcome of the leadership contest the Labour party, in parliamentary terms, will become marginalised. As I have already said. The priority of any political party is to get the most bums on seats. We are presently, and I fear for some to come, effectively ...
