"Same Old Parties - Always Cheating"

Writing to the Times today, Edmund Gray of Iffley contends that “the case for a further referendum is surely now overwhelming.”  According to Mr Gray, “Brexiteers” will not be cheated because they will still be able to vote leave (again).  But he misses the point – in a further referendum, what possible confidence, given their recent record, could there be that Honourable Members would respect the result and legislate accordingly?  Indeed, why stop at a referendum; why not hold another General Election?  The electorate could be asked to vote on which of the respective party manifestos they preferred – purely indicatively, of course.

A plague on both your Houses!
