The problem is and always has been that the remain lost and simply refuse to accept they did.
I’m of the opinion if they lost again or didn’t agree with what was put forward we’d be in the same situation as now.

Somewhere in all of this mess some of these politicians are going to have to back down and compromise bits and work together to sort it or it will remain the same vote or no vote 2nd time around.

If you believe they are even capable of that after the last three years of lies contempt cheating backstabbing and every other immoral quote you can think of then you truly are deluded on this issue.
Great points Army.

Without doubt we would be out by now if Theresa hadn't called the 2017 election - and performed so poorly in that campaign. The Tories had a comfortable majority and three years still to run....what the hell was she thinking of?

In that 2017 campaign the Lib Dems manifesto promised a second referendum on a deal that Theresa brought back or remain. The people would know the details of the deal and confirm if they wanted it or not. The Lib Dems did badly at that election.
It is Lib Dem policy to be a pro European party, surely this is OK? If you don't agree then vote for another party.
Our fortunes have picked up massively this year despite not changing our views. Is this a sign that the public have changed their views?
And in an actual General Election it is perfectly fair to put out your intentions to the public in a manifesto before the vote. The Lib Dems have announced that if they take control they will revoke article 50 and remain in the EU.
I don't expect that you will support this proposal in which case the answer is to vote for another party. That's democracy.

On a second referendum, this time it must be a binding decision on the Government. Whatever is decided must be enacted. The first one was an advisory one (although politicians said that they would enact the result).
I believe that Theresa DID try to enact the result - and she would have done - if she hadn't been foolish enough to call the 2017 election and ended up with a Government unable to Govern properly.
