I’m sure Europe would allow a UTurn, but 50% of the British electorate wouldn’t.
The libs are being quite intelligent and sensitive about it.
They’ve said that the UK voted for a departure and not a destination.
Basically another referendum will be held on the final proposal, if it’s Really damaging which it probably will be, there will be an opportunity to vote ‘well that was all a bit silly wasn’t it’.
Then that would open the door to say to Europe, yeh we thought about this properly and don’t want to do that anymore’.
I’m pretty sure the response from the EU would be, cool, glad you came to your senses.
The lib dems seem to have rulled out any coalition though, I guess they are still burned from the university fees fiasco, which was a tory policy and they were a minority in the lib tory coalition, and they seemed to take all the flack for it, even from thier own supporters.
In my view that’s very narrow minded, they kept the torys in check for the most part and did an incredible job, but something had to give, given thier secondary status in the coalition.
