And now a general election.... so now that the Lib Dems are saying they'll try and cancel Brexit, will the remainers all vote for them? Are there enough remainers to topple the Tories?

After all, a percentage of the 'vote leave' elderly from 3 years ago are now pushing daisies, and 3 years new youth are now able to vote. Will the equivalent amount of people in the 'middle' demographic have swung from remain to leave, to maintain status quo? I doubt it... ??
An election isn't going to help in my view.

- There are other issues in the manifesto that will blur things.

- Constituencies/seats will cock things up.

- The Lib Dems won't attract enough votes. They never have.

- Corbyn isn't credible, so the natural challengers probably won't challenge in the way an opposition should.

It's going to be more mess, I fear.

This is so divisive that it's going to have a lasting, bitter legacy whatever happens. All that's left in my view is one that ****s the economy versus one that doesn't.
