I don't see how another GE is likely to help, unless someone is going to fight it on either a stopping Brexit or 2nd referendum ticket. If we must vote again on Brexit, another ref seems like the least-terrible solution.

Personally, I think Parliament should grow the fsck up and just say "enough of this shit, let's cancel A50".

See the link above the general election one...

ISTM that there's a fair bit of work being done to try and stop the Labour Party Conference actually putting down a motion that would force Labour to support a meaningful vote (e.g. Len McClusky today saying that a referendum would be Tory Deal or No Deal); so it would be good news iff Labour's position shifts to a useful 2nd referendum, but I'm far from convinced that's going to be the outcome.

Oh, I'm not convinced. But I am vaguely hopeful.

Seconded, and I've read the links above...
