"

indeed and as you very well know, she went on to say:

When I came into Parliament, like most people in the country I'd grown up as part of the EU and it's absolutely part of our DNA and I came into Parliament, set up something called the Fresh Start Project, which took hundreds and hundreds of hours of evidence about how the EU impacts on the UK - on everything from immigration to fisheries and so on.

"During that process I travelled all across Europe with lots of parliamentary colleagues - up to 100 Conservative colleagues supporting this work - to try and get a really decent, fundamental reform of the EU

When I found reform was impossible, I changed my views and found we had no option but to leave the EU

I got the quote from here:

http://news.sky.com/story/1720929/pro-brexit-leadsom-changed-her-mind-over-eu

If you have a link that shows that quote as part of a larger speech, I would love to see it.

She comes from a banking and hedge fund background, and was a county or district councillor before becoming an MP in Northants

Left to run its course how? For Parliament to vote on if the PM has the power to trigger article 50? For new leaders of the Conservative and Labour parties and then a general election? For a second referendum?

None of us know what will happen. Will the extension to online voter registration lead to a judicial review and void the result? (that was Farage's idea) will PM vote to repeal the European communities act? Etc. Etc. So its wait and see all round. As only 38% of the electorate voted to leave, its hard to know what the future will bring.

There's a lot of debate re the vote. Some like the result some don't.

the whole world is watching to see what happens to our democracy and we handle this.

To over turn a vote like this would be the end of our country.

Andrea Leadsom was on one of the big televised referendum debate.

I thought she came across as incredibly stupid, bordering on Intellectually Disabled. All she kept doing was looking straight into the camera and talk about "Taking back control" and the "sunlit uplands of freedom".

We now know Paul McKenna coached them for that debate and you can tell.

I was gobsmacked when I Googled her and read that she'd been a senior banker.

No wonder this country is fucked

YOU know as well as I know, there will be no 2nd referendum, so why do you keep trying to stir things, watch the news- BBC, Sky & RT, watch what all 5 candidates say, none of them even mention a 2nd referendum as they know fully it would cease all voting in UK as it makes a mockery of the whole system.

Fact is; the UK voted to leave the EU, no if's and buts, Leave full stop and this will happen, no matter how much you protest against it.

You need to accept and find something better to do with your time.

I don't know that there wont be a second referendum, you might be sure, but I'm not.

There could be a general election and a second referendum might be in someone's manifesto, in fact that might be a good strategy for the Lib Dems. They might not win a majority, but might force a coalition.

I don't know? 30-40% for a UK wide re-run, perhaps with a super majority clause?

But there could be other referenda on Scottish and NI independence/reunification? Probably?

In the political section of the forum we all like giving our opinions, rubbishing the opinions of others, but speaking for myself, Im not actually a constitutional or political expert. This is not what I do to earn a living. I'm just an interested amateur.

The last two weeks have shown how quickly and dramatically the political landscape can change.

So I'll probably keep on pontificating, but what will ACTUALLY happen, who knows. This is going to be a busy time for political journalist, constitutional lawyers and academics as well as political forums

Of course it's possible but I'd put the probability at more like 2-5%

Politics is a mixture of art and science so some whacky opinions are interesting but others are tiresome!
