Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

I am not sure about BJ delivering a clean Brexit.
If he cuts a deal and it has in it the elements of the WA put forward by TM, minus the backstop then that would not cut it....we would still be tied into the EU.
We need.....NO Customs Union, No Free Movement, NO single market, NO ECJ.....if that can't be delivered then we should walk away.

They are pooping themselves across the channel at the thought of losing 39 billion.....and the legal eagles say there is no way that the UK can be forced to cough up...no legal measures.

If it turns out to be Leave without ratifying the WA, then Boris will have done a good job.

As for an election....I would be worried about diluting the vote....and I cannot see the Brexit party will have anything to offer if we are out on the 31st of October.
I would find it hard to believe that the Brexit Party can get enough seats to form a government....and what is essential for the future is to have a government in power who have a working majority....one where they do NOT need to go 'cap in hand' to another political party to shore up votes on important issues.

What I DO hope, come the GE, is that the electorate remember those politicians who betrayed their constituents, and kick them as far into the long grass as possible.
I would fervently hope our own representative is one of them....and Mars is not far enough away.
