1. Parliament passed the Referendum Act devolving to the people the decision to Remain (in) or Leave the EU
2. The government, via a £9m taxpayer funded Remain propaganda leaflet promised to implement the decision of the people
3. Leave won and Parliament passed the legislation enabling the Brexit process to proceed
4. In the 2017 general election all the main parties promised to leave the EU, SM, CU & ECJ equating to c.85% of the votes cast
5. It was always clear that the only way to deliver Brexit was to agree an FTA with the EU or move to WTO rules before agreeing one - the government have deliberately ignored these obvious options, using the NI border as a preposterous excuse
6. It's now clear that the government and Parliament intend to renege on their referendum campaign promises and those laid out in their 2017 manifestos

Why not be honest and just admit you don't understand why you lost the referendum and are determined to undermine the democratic result of the last one and have as many referendums as possible until you get the result you want. Pathetic.

We then had a general election in which 82% of the vote was for parties that said they'd honour the referendum result including leaving the SM & CU.
That's it, we don't need another referendum. Legally speaking the government hasn't implemented the first one yet.

Leavers need to make it clear that there is no such option as 'no deal' because WTO is the default deal, therefore there is no 'crashing out', 'hard Brexit', 'cliff edge', 'abyss' etc etc.
Remainers are busy promoting Project Fear Part 2 and 'no deal' is at the heart of their scaremongering. It needs showing up for what it is, a false narrative created to frighten people.

Going to a WTO deal is the mandatory default deal for both the EU & UK as they've signed up to WTO terms. Therefore, there is no such option as 'no deal'.

There are other deals the government could do (there is no such option as 'no deal'; it's a Remain scare phrase): a Canada type FTA deal or a WTO one (most of the World including the EU trade under its rules. The UK already exports over 60% of it exports under such rules).
Remainer May is deliberately ignoring these two deal options (which would be the basis of honouring the Brexit result) because she wants to shackle the UK to the EU in perpetuity. There's nothing in the surrender agreement that would incentivise the EU to set us free.

‘No deal’ is an illusion created to scare the electorate. There is no such option as ‘no deal’. There’s only not accepting one or more of the deals available.
There are three deals available to the UK, (i) May’s capitulation deal, (ii) a Canada type FTA (most of the elements are already in place given the UK’s 40+ years of trade with the EU & (iii) a WTO deal. The World trades under its rules, including the EU and over 60% of the UK’s exports are already traded using such rules.
The Remain cabal that is running the so called EU Brexit negotiations have deliberately ignored the Canada & WTO deals using the spurious NI border as their excuse for doing so.
From day one the Remain dominated cabinet, parliament, civil service and Establishment have been planning to run down the negotiating clock down to the wire so that all that’s on offer is May’s supplicant deal with no time left to put in place a WTO deal, which in most respects is mandatory on both parties if another deal is not agreed. May and her Remain cabal are desperate to keep the UK shackled to and a supplicant of the EU and as such are wilfully ignoring the other deals which would honour the Brexit result.

We need to tell the EU that we will continue to monitor the border as we have been doing for the last few years, will work constructively with the EU and Ireland to use new technology to improve the tracking of goods crossing the border, however won't be installing border posts etc. If they want to do so that's up to them.
