Been thinking a lot about the Lib Dem / SNP election bill.

Makes me really sad that after so much cross-party effort the first we hear of it was in the Sunday papers.

If they had consulted this is what I’d have said 👇
Brexit started with a referendum which needs a majority vote to win.

A general election could result in Remain / PV parties getting over 50% combined but unable to implement the policy.

Yet Johnson could win on 35% and use it as a mandate for his bad deal or no deal at all
As the Brexit on offer is so radically different to the one promised.

As there’s been three prime ministers since the referendum.

And as we have the facts before us now, I think the need for a majority view specifically on Brexit, as before, is the only credible way forward
A million people have twice marched in support of a final say referendum.

No one has marched for a general election.
Polls might well show a big gap in the centre-ground at the moment.

But the way to attract voters isn’t to bank their alarm over Brexit and assume it converts to support in an election.

Voters are too smart for that. How many lessons from history do you need? There are many
