As it appears there is going to be no agreement between the government and parliament on the terms of leaving the EU. I would suggest that before the 31st October 2019 that the government and parliament should agree to make public in plain English what the consequences are for the three possible scenarios
a) Leave with an agreed deal.
b) Leave with no deal.
c) Remain in the EU if it is of benefit to the UK.

We can then have a second referendum for the people to decide which option they consider best for the UK. The deal presented by Mrs. May appeared leave the UK in a worse position than we are currently in as member of the EU.

It is not necessary to hold a general election there are some important issues affecting our country other than Bexit and we should not be asked to elect a government based on a single issue.

I am not affiliated with any political party, but I do believe that three of the government minister Mogg, Cox and Johnson have shown complete contempt for parliamentary democracy.
Great idea Vintage. The Lib Dems have been pushing for a second referendum for over three years.

But to ask Parliament to put the full facts, with evidence, to the people is a forlorn hope.

It is clear that so many people are so entrenched in their views that they are unwilling to accept evidence and advise from any "expert".
If, as a result of putting out the pro's and con's of leaving/remaining, it is obvious that one course of action is vastly more preferable than the other, the other side will simply not accept it as good advice and simply call it "project fear" or "project Unicorn".

But without doubt, the people will decide in the end, be it a second vote or a General Election.
I just think that a General Election will produce another hung Parliament who will not be able to resolve it.

Second vote it is then- but this Parliament will never agree to holding one.
