What a bunch of muppets. Talk about bolting the stable door. Are they unaware of the result of the referendum or do they just not accept the result as they don't like it?
It's not so unreasonable. Firstly, that has been their position in recent years so it is at least consistent. As regards the result of the referendum, do all parties now have to support "leave" in perpetuity off the back of a relatively narrow victory in a single point in time?
Let us fast forward to November and assume that there is a snap election. None of us knows what the political landscape might be then. The pound might have slumped or it may recover. We may have had bad economic growth figures. The European Commission might flex its muscles and ask for a bare knuckle fight or it might be looking to do a reasonable deal. Who knows? The point is that if we held a further referendum in a year's time we might get an entirely different result based upon the circumstances at play at that time, none of which any of us can foresee now.
I'm not saying that the referendum was unimportant but a political party is quite within its rights to put forward its own position. The LibDems could find traction with those fearful of Brexit by putting themselves up as an unadulterated "remain" party.
We live in interesting times.
