I tell you what, let's have another Referendum so that we can have another go at getting the 'Right Result' !
Jeremy Hunt, one of the most enthusiastic Europhiles in the government, is apparently considering putting himself forward for the leadership of the Conservative Party. One of his key ideas is that, once the terms of an 'Exit' deal have been negotiated, there should be another Referendum to ask the people if they agree with those terms. He has also said that he accepts the outcome of last weeks plebiscite and isn't suggesting that we have a second go at the basic question of membership but he also doesn't say what we should do if the people were to reject the negotiated exit terms.
Clearly, Mr Hunt's thinking is either muddled or his words are typically disingenuous. If the people were to reject whatever exit terms are agreed with the remaining EU countries, that would be a tacit vote for a second Referendum on the question of membership; indeed, it could even be interpreted as a vote for membership to be resumed. Also, given that this lunacy would probably only come to pass if a 'Remainer' was to win the Conservative leadership contest, the terms of the negotiation would undoubtedly be doctored so as to favour that outcome.
Jeremy Hunt has been making a right pig's breakfast of the NHS and now he wants us to trust him on the EU. Ha, Ha, Ha !!
