Petition for new referendum is now three million and counting.
Why hasn’t Article 50 been enacted immediately as David Cameron promised it would if the vote went against him? He has said now it will be up to the next Prime Minister to do this and this is not likely until about October.
There is talk that even the Brexit leaders don’t even have a plan for the UK to leave.
It is true that things that may have been set in motion that cannot be changed, but there seems to be little enthusiasm for Brexit.
And under the UK’s (unwritten) constitution “parliament is supreme” and can do whatever it so likes. All it takes is for someone to propose that Brexit doesn’t happen, get it seconded, and if it passes a majority vote that is it dead.
However, if it was to happen, more than likely there would be a second referendum. The “stays" would win it easily. A lot of people who voted “leave” did so to give the government a kick up the arse and never thought it would go through. And a lot of the politicians who supported leave did so to appease some of their more backward-thinking constituents and never thought it would come to pass either.

I've just got back from Asia to the UK to vote remain. Now I'm here for a deathbed scene. And the match was lost.
So I need some cheering up
OK abt negotiating 101: if you are leaving a club, a job, anything, you have to slow up the talks. Those staying on want to get on with the rest of their agenda. If you are slow they get fed up and give you what you want.
Don't expect the process to start for months, and it won't be finished in 2 years.
Soz but the new referendum won't happen because, er, there's just been a referendum and they cost money. If all 16m of us that voted remain sign a petition, it doesn't signify. What matters is to make money out of the changes coming.
Mmmm-hmm

Scottish parliament /assembly may not ratify the referendum.
The blond, buffoon, Boris' fathermakes a gaffe on C4 by using the term Irish bog rats to describe certain Tories.
Tory, if you are interested, is an Irish word - meaning bandit/pursuer-which entered the English language in the late 1600s as a political insult in Britain.
