Yes, it is, which is why Boris is taking an authoritarian stand, knowing that there will never be any kind of agreement in the present situation. He and his supporters are saying, "This is what the nation voted for and so this is what we're going to do." To Boris, everything is black and white, no shades of grey. Rather like yourself! ;-)

He can't refuse. It would precipitate a constitutional crisis. He might be locked up in the Tower! ;-)

Ah well, that's what they'll need to find out. He/she couldn't go to the Queen until they do have the support of the House.

It worked in WW2 because we faced an enemy from outside the UK. It may not work this time as we're facing a crisis from within.

MvdV> Will a simple 50%+1 majority do or will it require more like 2/3rd or so?
Probably 50%+1, but I personally would prefer a two thirds majority. It depends what they opt for. Which is what we should have had in the 2016 referendum.

Of course they won't, but with another referendum it'll at least give us some breathing space to decide if we really do want to leave the EU. It should have been put to the people once a deal had been worked out.
MvdV> One thing I can say: it is interesting to watch...
From here it's terrifying!
