//To the right-wingers - the Tory government you elected failed to deliver what they promised i.e.Brexit. So why on earth would you want them back in power?//
Because they are the only party still committed to delivering Brexit.
//just to unequivocally ensure that "the enemy" is destroyed, and the planet with it,...//
Explain, please, Karl, who the planet would be destroyed in the event of nuclear war. Or do you mean that a large chunk of mankind (and probably lots of other life forms as well) would be destroyed? This silly mantra of "we must save the planet" always makes me chuckle. The planet will survive. Not even mankind in all his stupidity has the ability to turn it to dust or gas. The planet will survive whatever mankind throws at it. But species come and go.

Ellipsis, sadly there appear to be lots of people who don't see the obvious because they have their religious blinkers on and pump out the moral/"democratic" blackmail mantra. An election/referendum is a taking of the pulse, the pulse may/can/will change and a different result emerges - opinions/majorities and resulting policies change (what an heretical thought).
cleverjo: "It was a monumental mistake and we should call it off." - he called it under pressure from Farage, he thought he would win. You cannot simply ignore the result, it cannot be undone.
"It was never binding anyway, was it? " - not technically but it is morally and the government at the time pledged to implement the result. No government can really ignore that. In the unlikely event the Lib non dems do get in then I suppose that could be seen as a change of mind by the people if remain is the only reason they voted that way.

NJ, correct of course but the figure of speech conveys the image of the effective end of life on the planet's surface (although it was at one point said that of all things cockroaches would be among the very few species that might survive) and that figure of speech is understood and widely accepted for what it is.
A parallel "nonsense" is the suggestion that the inhabitants of an independent Scotland would no longer be British, and indeed (although holding much less currency) that the inhabitants of Britain post Brexit would no longer be Europeans.

//NewJudge, the result of the referendum was hardly an overwhelming majority.//
1.3m more people voted to leave than to remain.
//One man, who has now disappeared from public view, called it.//
Incorrect. The proposal was included in the Tory manifesto for the 2015 election. The Bill was introduced by none other than arch-Remainer and the then Foreign Secretary Phillip Hammond. Its second reading in the Commons was supported by all parties (including the LibDems) except the SNP and passed by 544 to 53. It passed its final reading by 316 to 53 (with most Labour and LibDem MPs abstaining). It was not and could never have been the decision of one man and MPs of all parties (including the Lib Dems) had adequate opportunity to prevent it.
//I bet he regrets it every morning he opens his eyes.//
I doubt he gives a toss but his feelings are of no concern to me.
//It was a monumental mistake and we should call it off.//
No it wasn't. The question needed to be asked (as is evident from the answer). The mistake was the pathetic efforts of the May administration in "negotiating" a leaving settlement that meant we remained in all but name.
//It was never binding anyway, was it?//
No it wasn't. But....
Parliament voted by five to one to invoke Article 50. They had that opportunity to call it off if they wanted to. And....
Four out of five MPS who were elected to the recently dissolved Parliament in 2017 (the one that failed miserably to implement Brexit) were elected on manifestos of doing precisely that. It was clear during the progress of that Parliament that at least 80% of its members (many from the 80% I mentioned above) had no intention whatsoever of implementing our departure. They were elected on wholly false premises and the electorate is entitled to hold them to account.
It was Parliament's decision to hold the referendum and Parliament's decision to invoke A50. They should have said at each of those junctures that they didn't like the idea. But they didn't. So the electorate is entitled to see their decision fulfilled.

Yet again the over hyping of the LibDems continues apace. The LibDems are not going to get anywhere near getting the Nuclear key, they won’t even get the Key to the Common’s disabled toilet. They will come 4th, a long way behind the SNP.
Why anyone is seriously contemplating them winning the General Election Is bonkers. Stop wasting all our time by posting stupid questions based on idiocy.
