Instruct the Prime minister to call a General Election
If you change the meaning of voters’ words once they have spoken, if the electorate feel sufficiently cheated of their ballot paper, they may not use such polite words the next time they’re asked. In order to change the numbers in the House, a General Election is required.
The referendum did not ask the electorate whether they prefer a “hard or soft” Brexit, or whether they wanted “Brexit, as long as a decent deal is negotiated.”
It simply asked if we wanted to leave the EU or remain in it. To recast one choice of a binary question as being inherently “hard-line” in a way that can be “softened,” as opposed to a legitimate option that simply means what it says, is nothing short of casuistry. It appears the only way to get clear path is to call a General Election.
