"That the 'real left' are in bed with Farrage and Johnson, comfy under their nationalist/romantic blanket, is bad enough." Well quite but that's not the whole story is it? Both partiiies are ignoring the fact that parliament is now (clearly for those with eyes to see and ears to hear), a discredited non-representational sham....that their should be a second vote is a required notion if one truly believes in democracy after all;"if the consequences of the vote were do immense why was it that the outcome was allowed to hang on such a small percentage? It is not unusual for referenda to be dependent on a minimum majority in order to determine a true outcome (Tory leadership campaigns spring to mind -for instance-), why then was this not the case when it came to a vote on Britain's membership of the E.U?" So where's the beef?....All other concerns are surely about constitutional and electoral reform...and to posture that they are not , re: ChangeUK, is s to ill serve the electorate..
