Neither side came out of it with much credit.

That's why the public should be asked the question again, this time armed with real information.

Do you want a hard Brexit or remain? Those seem to be the only options at the moment.

And we could use the Government (Boris, Rees-Mogg etc) own Yellowhammer document as a guide - just like the Government are using it.

We both agree that the original referendum campaign was full of lies and scare tactics (on both sides) so let the people decide on the actual Governments best estimate of what it would actually mean?

Seems logical to me.

Or we could decide via a GE where each party stands on it's own policy.

Which would mean...

Tory - Hard Brexit
Labour - Second referendum
Lib Dem - Remain

Can't get more democratic than that, eh?
There is possibly a more democratic way 59, accept the result of the largest democratic vote this country has ever seen, as parliament has already voted to do, and leave under Article 50 of the EU's Treaty of Rome on October 31st, which also happens to be legislated for under UK law as well. Of course if you have no respect for democracy or the law...………..?

Just to go back a bit though, I disagree with your basic premise, you treat the people of this country as idiots and morons, I don't. We have a fairly sophisticated electorate, they can see through people like you, just pushing the party line, they have a contempt for our politicians, they can see through them quite easily as well, they are well capable of seeing through their bluff, bluster, lies and misinformation, they are not fools, they are capable of making their own minds up, which they did and voted to Leave. So we must leave, couldn't be simpler.
