Not sure what it will achieve other than meaning it will take me a bit longer to get to Lidl like but whatevs. There was one on the M6 yesterday evening. It will very clearly maybe send a strong message about something to someone.

So the registered electorate in 2016 was about 46 million. The "Scrap Article 50" petition is now at 4.6 million signatures (and increasing all the time). Roughly 10% of the voting population seems like a pretty significant number.

David Davis, in 2002: "Referendums should be held when the electorate are in the best possible position to make a judgment. They should be held when people can view all the arguments for and against and when those arguments have been rigorously tested. In short, referendums should be held when people know exactly what they are getting. So legislation should be debated by Members of Parliament on the Floor of the House, and then put to the electorate for the voters to judge. We should not ask people to vote on a blank sheet of paper and tell them to trust us to fill in the details afterwards. For referendums to be fair and compatible with our parliamentary process, we need the electors to be as well informed as possible and to know exactly what they are voting for. Referendums need to be treated as an addition to the parliamentary process, not as a substitute for it."

Samurai Sanders posted:So, a large chunk of Brits have no idea what they actually want so their differences in responses are just based on the superficial language? Not necessarily. My wife voted Remain and thinks Brexit is a stupid idea, but believes that we democratically voted to leave and so we should accept that. She thinks it’s a bad idea to just keep voting until you get the decision you like. I think that having an “Are you sure you want to go ahead with this, now things are a bit clearer?” confirmation vote is still a democratic thing to do.

Two people I know voted Leave because: "The NHS will be given £350 million the day after the vote." "I thought the government needed shaking up a little."

Much as I'm fed up with all this, I don't really want a General Election as well. If the tories won again, it wouldn't really change anything and if Labour won then we'd have to put up with them failing to achieve anything either (as I think their current policy is to go along with Brexit but somehow negotiate differently, by magic I guess). I can't really think of anyone I'd actually want to vote for right now. Wait a minute, what's Lord Buckethead up to these days?

Hey, I didn't say I have all the answers.  But yes, getting May and the tories out would be great for many reasons other than just brexit. But whoever won, all they're going to be doing is yet more endless Bexit-related stuff for months if not years and dealing with the fallout from whatever eventually happens, one way or the other. Revoke article 50 and get back to doing proper stuff to help people and stop us all drowning when the seas rise twenty metres, instead of spending the next twenty years trying to negotiate trade deals with Bhutan and Greenland.

I think if the 4th vote on May's deal fails she should only be allowed two more attempts. Maybe three.
