Post EU Referendum

A C Grayling telling it as it is....
A C Grayling has 6 reasons to prove why Brexit will be stopped - Top Stories - The New European

Some points:
May knows she has no mandate for Brexit - she has said so.
The majority of MPs of all parties are remainers and know the damage hard Brexit (by definition Brexit, if it happens, will be hard) will do. They are keeping their heads down - deferring to 'the will of the people'.
They need a leader who will commit to doing 'the right thing' as opposed to 'the will of the people'.
Corbyn is not our man - he is a hard Brexiteer. Someone else needs to come forward.

(I think Gisela Stuart has criticised the events after the referendum. She would have preferred a referendum at the time of the Lisbon Treaty, as promised by Gordon Brown)

I doubt you or the majority of those who genuinely believe that the UK should exit the EU would have or stopped their campaign had the vote been 52,48 in favour of staying !.

Hmmm, have posed this very question before. Somebody suggested Milliband Senior at the time, which isn't a bad shout.
A UK 'Macron' able to fill the huge vacuum in the centre ground, to galvanise the Remainer one nation Tories, LibDems, Greens, SNP and Nou Labourites with the aim of putting an end to this ridiculous pantomime.
Any pro-EU, centrist leaders of men out there, with a bit of oomph and charisma, well, your country needs you NOW !

No mandate?
The referendum was her mandate.
The MPs vote after the referendum to enact the result was her mandate.
The General election where Brits increased their vote for both Tory and Labour whose manifestos stated Brexit - was her mandate.
How much more of a mandate for Brexit could there be?
