It should NOT be about what the House of Commons want, nor the House of Lords.
Those people are in their positions(paid very well) because they are supposed to SERVE the electorate.
They are our representative. Not there to foist their wishes on us...that is not how it works.
They are bound to be pro Europe...it means that they have less work to do....being handed rules and regs from another country? That does not sound like sovereignty to me.
I truly cannot see a second referendum. This would be a knife to the heart of democracy....and suppose that referendum created more problems....maybe from those of us who sincerely want to be rid of the EU....would that then necessitate a third...or would it be best of five?
How is it democracy if it can be overturned by a small number of politicians who want to be considered for tickets on the gravy train?
If there is a second referendum then it should only be about the terms of leaving....not about staying...that question was settled back in 2016.
The EU would be delighted if they finally managed to trounce democratic freedoms in this country...as they have done in Greece and Italy.
The UK has been a thorn in the side of the EU for a long time....long may we be so.
