re: #68 Dr Lizardo

Honestly, the only way to really stop Brexit is to revoke Article 50.

I really don’t know if there’s any political will whatsoever to do that; it’s basically the nuclear option when it comes to stopping Brexit. And pushing the button - so to speak - certainly doesn’t end the whole Brexit argument either as reactionaries and extremists like Nigel Farage would stand to gain enormously from that. His new Brexit Party would have disgruntled Tories (and other Brexiteers) flocking to his banner in that scenario.

My understanding is that Corbyn’s plan is thus:

- Put forward “no-confidence” vote and have the current gov’t dissolved
- Install a temporary “caretaker gov’t” that will call for general elections
- Have Labour run in that election on promises of holding a second referendum
- Hold the second referendum
- Profit!

What’s that you say? What options will there be in that second referendum? Corbyn won’t say, but I can’t imagine it will be any clearer than the first one.
