As we go down this already uncertain and windy road, it is in nobody’s interests to remain entrenched in the remain/leave factions.

On this matter, the two party leadership elections being fought in this post-Brexit environment won’t go far enough. It does not suffice that a few hundred thousand electors still reeling from the Leave vote will determine the direction of the country. Since the vote that has left politics in the UK beyond recognition, as we cross into uncharted territory, the government surely must seek a new mandate to govern.
