You will say, "but at least we would have remained - you would have got what you voted for" and I honestly understand your frustration.

But the only way we could leave quickly was via a no deal. And no one, well, very few, thought this was a good idea.
So we had to get a deal. It soon became apparent that the deal which Boris and Nigel had promised us was not available.
Theresa got a deal but it had one point that caused it to fail in Parliament - the Irish border issue. I remember you saying that you would rather remain than accept the deal.
And you weren't alone. Would you accept Theresa's deal if the backstop was taken out because this is what Boris is trying to do? Some would and some wouldn't.
Wouldn't it be a good idea if the public were asked what they thought? At least we would all know exactly what we would get this time.

I remember when you changed your tune and told us "I have come to the conclusion that we should just leave and if it means throwing Ireland under a bus then so be it"
That is your opinion Sinkov but please don't claim to speak for the majority of the country when you say that.

I am not insulting your intelligence or patronising you but if the Lib Dems announce in a manifesto that if we are elected we will revoke article 50 then simply don't vote for us. We'll all decide who to vote for by inspecting the parties manifesto's and reaching our own conclusions. But to claim that the Lib Dems are being undemocratic for telling us quite openly what their policies are doesn't make any sense.
Labour tell us they would abolish private schools. You may disagree with them but they are not being undemocratic.
I have no problem 59 if the LibDems want to fight an election on a manifesto pledge to rejoin the EU, but to declare the result of the referendum null and void because they think it might damage the economy is, as I have said before, arrogant, patronising and an extremely dangerous road to go down. I'm trying to work out just what the LibDems current political philosophy is, or at least what it reminds me of, and the word that keeps coming to mind is fascist.
