Funny, but I reckon there's an inverse relationship between the cleverness of the signs you see on a protest and the efficacy it'll have in the real world.

Meanwhile, underneath a rock somewhere, Nigel Farage, a Spice Boy forever, is forced to reconsider Brexit, eventually turning against the movement he led, and proving you completely wrong.

Meanwhile back at the ranch evil clerics with hooks for hands entice young people to join their sinister campaign by giving away free Spice Girls CDs.

Hold another referendum, ranked ballot, with the various proposals including status quo, then bind lawmakers to the result.

See this is my problem. Democracy and the people have spoken even though I believe it to be a huge mistake. Vote again and you'll be voting and re-voting on every bloody subject from here to eternity.

It sets a bad precedent even though the country will suffer. All those people that came out at the weekend to show their respects for the armistice who believe their loved ones fought for democracy and a better world and now we get to this shit.

But if the lawmakers are stuck at finding a strategy supported by a majority, it makes sense to consult the electorate directly and with more specificity for what they should do. And if the public, having considered the issue further, now think it's a bad idea altogether, that seems smarter than forcing them to go along with the mood of a few years ago. That Parliament can't get it done is what makes a second, more specific and binding vote a viable way out.
