If they have a manifesto stating they wont take the UK out of the EU, theoretically it could be argued that is the new mandate from the people

Lets start a conspiracy theory.

This result has shocked the world allegedly and people have woke up. I am now wondering if there are a load of politicos and elitists meeting in secrecy wondering how to fix this and can they come up with a plan for the UK to remain in the EU by greasing the EU politicians and impressing upon them that other countries are now questioning if they should remain.

Perhaps concessions could be made to have the UK remain in the EU and that these EU bureaucrats start listening to the common folk and get off their high horses and sense of entitlement and work for everyone in the EU.

Hehe interesting. The top EU bosses are the ones who should be scared.

Perhaps this vote might make the Mericans think twice. Most thought the Remain campaign would win. Most thought Donald Trump wouldn't get the nomination.
Now imagine the meltdown if Trump became President?

Er, the plan will be to stay in the EU in all but name. Like Norway.

It is a funny old thing. The Norway option is simultaneously:

a) The worst of both worlds. All the perceived negatives of being in the EU without the ability to protect and advance Britain's interests, and

b) The best possible outcome for a post-referendum Britain.

The leavers have played a blinder.

Meltdown of the planet being the likely literal outcome to that happening

I'm disappointed at the leave result, but this does allow the UK to negotiate with countries outside the EU on it's own terms - for better or worse.

Exactly. Calling the Commonwealth countries would be a good start

No.

Neither is the current government.

(However one defines "constitutional law" . )

How about opting for the game show principle with a new one asking "is that your final answer?"

And then go "Higher!" Or.."Lower" depending on who has the most votes.
Or you could do a Showcase showdown - trailer tent, holiday in Cancun, Greece ( the whole bang shoot as well as taking on the whole national debt) and a brand new Toyota Prius! Closest bidder but not a euro/pound over...

Or the Bullseye approach - you might need to google this one having been away from Blighty a tad, Bristol...".Oi Boris, and you Farage, you get nothing for two in a bed!"

Or finally they could actually settle the issue with a game of conkers.

This.

It's clear one half of the country is easily fooled.

The question is which half?
