A Second Referendum Would be a Disaster for Britain

 There was much jubilation last week among the crowds outside the Houses of Parliament when Theresa May’s deal went down to a record-breaking defeat.

Yet we are likely to look back on that moment in future years as a calamitous one for British democracy, The Telegraph reports.

At a stroke, the majority of MPs joined together to paralyse the only good government available, make Brexit impossible to deliver on schedule or even at all, and produce in much of the population an utter disgust with their proceedings. Most important of all, wittingly or not, they started the countdown to another referendum.

Yes, it is now quite likely that we will have to do it all again.
