The other interesting part of the Survation poll:
Plus 2nd Preference:
The UK leaves with a deal 58%
The UK leaves without a deal 24%
The UK remains in the EU 10%
Don't know 8%
If it was a multi-preference referendum, the result might depend on the voting system used. No deal is a Condorcet loser, but it's possible that Remain isn't a Condorcet winner too. Has to be said of course that this inevitably overestimates the 'UK leaves with a deal' massively because it isn't a specific outcome.
If we were to have a second referendum, I'd bet on Remain, but I'd still be extremely nervous. It's absolutely unbelievable the mess this country is in given the above sentiments. No Deal is
clearly undemocratic, and it's galling that the media so rarely points this out.
honestly I have no idea but it's not this. A compromise appears to be long dead at this point we're left with two extremes and I don't think either is going to help.
If we end up with a second referendum let's say who would even front that? Last time it was David Cameron and the government tell us how stupid it was to leave even though they gave everyone that option and obviously this government isn't going to do that.
Corbyn has no credibility even if Labour back it so nobody is going to want to hear what he has to say.
Maybe we'll just end up with a million different talking heads nobody really cares about all giving their own message and just confusing people. Either way if people refuse to work together then we're leaving on the dumbest terms because Boris and Farage have a pretty clear message.
Thanks for your response, I broadly agree. I think I tend to be a little more lenient on those who are at least doing
something, even if it is a long way from the ideal.
Having said that, I'm not sure that Farage/Boris have a clear message, and I think the polling suggests there's almost as much fragmentation on that side as on the Remain side. Boris is also still playing games about whether he wants a deal or not, whether he expects to get them or not, and so on. That doesn't seem clear to me. Some people fear that in the end the Leavers will solidify behind the Conservatives, but I don't see any future where Farage consents to that.
