Re: 2nd Referendum on Brexit
I think you're right about the lack of will in Parliament. Until we experience the reality it will be difficult to articulate clearly and persuasively a change in the mood of the nation in the way that translate in to Parliamentary action.
Legitimacy is the word. A second referendum in a hurry might be a useful way for a government or for Parliament absent an effective government to shift responsibility for whatever might be about to happen from themselves to the people but you are right it would be open to all kinds of legitimacy issues.
We are certainly heading for something breaking. Either the UK or the Tory Party.
Re: 2nd Referendum on Brexit
I know which one of those I'm more willing to dispense with. Unfortunately I see non-trivial odds that both will go, which will give me a little bit of schadenfreude at the fall of the party responsible while not mitigating the problems of the fall of the UK one whit.
