Interesting situation for the Labour party: majority of the MP want to remove the current leader, apparent majorty of party members (very likely the people who paid 3£ to elect a labour leader) want him to stay.
A decent option for corbyn would be to emulate Sanders - leave the Labour party and form his own. let the general public decide.

I am starting to wonder if Brexit will really happen!
It is clear that nobody can force Britain to invoke Article 50.
To invoke it will require an Act of Parliament in a Parliament where the majority of MPs are for Remain; how long that will take is very hard to know. It will certainly require a new PM committed to Leave and maybe later a new general election to replace "Remain" MPs. | | | | | This is exactly what I am hearing from people here in the UK at the moment.

What I don't get is why the same people that had a go at me for fear-mongering and labeling the point and 'going on about it' are now decrying 'why did n0-body warn us?' and blaming the remain campaign for not forcing them to take their fingers from their ears.

But the referendum result clearly showed that that the electorate wanted it.
Typically, the elites would win over the people, but we will have to wait and see...

From where I'm standing this looks like one massive act of political vandalism, but as long as Nigel Farage feels vindicated I suppose thats alright  | | The following 10 users would like to thank Castro for this useful post: | |

It's alright if the majority sees how much of a dork he is. Better would be if the rest of the world could see that he is an exception.

The man is calculating and dangerous.

You'd think that she found everybody intelligent, wouldn't you? But then again, that would depend on her having some higher neurological functions.
