Being an outsider, I can't say I understand the merits Brexit. But, from what I've read, it was expected that parliament would vote overwhelmingly against current plan of disengagement. Also from recent polling it looks like a six point change, which I would consider significant. 52/48 for/against to 46/54 currently. Maybe other polls are different or more accurate. It appears that Brexit is most likely going to take place. I guess the issue was how the disengagement will take place. Don't know if another referendum has a high probability. Perhaps more interesting/important is how a minority can control the fate of a nation or even the world. In the US, the government shutdown, a result of trying to impose policies supported by a minority, that is getting smaller and smaller, is beginning to wreak havoc on many levels...
