Referendum Day + 1. Brexit is heavily defeated.

If your view is POPULAR enough people will agree with you.

Yes. Every vote is a popularity contest unless you fiddle with the system so that less popular politicians are elected.

Going on recent form, 52% + would vote for Nigel, so why isn't he sitting beside JRM?

• It was 52% of the voters who turned out, not 52% of the country or even 52% of the franchise
• Not everybody who voted for Brexit voted UKIP and if they did because of the Brexit stance there’s no guarantees they would agree on any other policies. Brexit voters came from the right and left of the spectrum
• You’re making the same assumption as Mrs May did last year and she got a bloody nose. General Elections are different, they are not one issue contests.

Cant say she got it wrong with 40% + of the vote, all thats happened is, instead of people wasting their time voting for the Greens and other parties, they tactically voted to screw the tories, on brexit, Labours offering didn't differ much

You know what I meant.
If only 52% of those with a right to vote, exercise that right and do vote, the other 48% get what they deserve.

It's looking increasingly more and more likely that Brexit will be defeated rather heavily. Probably 70 : 30 in favour of remain.

What happens.

1. Strong rally in sterling making imports cheaper
and exports less competitive.

2. Tory party totally split. The senior cabinet level
leavers have no option but to resign from the
party. Cameron is reinforced as undisputed
leader and PM. He announces he will stay
and fight the next election as leader.

3. UKIP and Farage fade quickly into oblivion.

4. Cameron meanwhile focuses on integrating the
UK ever more into the EU.

5. The next election is a straight shoot out
between Cameron the Europhile and Corbyn
recent unwilling convert to Europe.
Cameron wins a handsome majority in
Westminster. By 2022 UK will be right at the
centre of Europe as a very major
counterweight to Germany in particular.

6. Cameron finds willing allies in several EU
countries previously pushed one side by
Merkel.

In a roundabout fashion UK has become the defecto leader of the EU project with Germany and France often teaming up to cause trouble for UK.

Can you see my vision of the future[emoji4][emoji636]

Yes, I went to the opening post out of idle curiosity too. He still thinks Brexit is only a nightmare for him and he will wake up to find he was right all along.
