The situation the UK is in

A majority opposes leaving the EU with May's deal

A majority opposes leaving the EU with no deal

A majority opposes staying in the EU

A majority would support a sea border with Northern Ireland, but the DUP will take down the Government if that passes

A majority would support a Norway-style deal, but the Conservative party will split in half and take down the government if that passes

It's a Gordian knot. There is not a democratic solution to this problem.

Lead for Remain.

Having a second referendum is not anti democratic. People know far more now about the insanity of leaving, and will support remain.
