So where are we then

[baggy1]

Chamonix baggie if there was a second referendum and it was still 52% /48% in favour of leave and they said it was a hard brexit what happens then ? Parliment wont let a democratic vote through so whsts the point of a second referendum

The problem was created with the original phrasing of the question - Remain is obvious but what does Leave mean? Without all of the semantics and point scoring that goes on between the different factions I think we can all agree that 52% of the vote didn't vote for, or expect, a 'No deal' scenario.

The problem with the whole mess is that it has broken down and is being used by political parties for their own agenda's. If they were genuinely interested in what the public wanted they would put a credible deal on the table, highlight the consequences and potential benefits of that approach and let the people decide. But once again it is being used to hide long held political wants by being vague to hide them. 

I can actually see the Tory's getting a strong position basing the GE on a 'We want to get it done' platform, however they don't appear to see the long term damage they are doing to the party. The traditional Labour Brexit voters might move to Boris for this GE but will not be there for long, whilst centrist and some traditional voters that would consider Conservative (like myself) will be a long time winning over again.
