Politicians can’t decide on anything, proving the need for a second public vote. But in order to give the public a final say, we first need politicians to give the go ahead. Make sense?
But this is where MPs need to focus their efforts and minds over the next few days and weeks. Nobody can claim that the process we are currently using to “sort out” Brexit is working. Yet a people’s vote must be put into policy by the House of Commons. But it is not an “alternative” policy to Theresa May’s deal – or any deal. There is a reason it can be attached to anything that parliament agrees.
