Ten days left for Britain's future

Britain's future has been thrown up in the air and kicked around for weeks by an increasingly divided House of Commons. I think it has now got to the point where it will be impossible for enough MPs to agree on the way forward. There is too much disagreement, too much anger and too much frustration. So what can be done? The cabinet has been going over this question again and again and they can't decide either. Almost all the options are bad news: a snap general election, a second referendum, an extension of Article 50 by one or two years, a no-deal Brexit, all of these alternatives will have unpleasant side effects. Theresa May doesn't seem to have a clue what to do next, nor do her ministers. There is only one solution. Article 50 must be revoked for a period of, say, ten years. It will cause fury amongst the 17 million people who voted to leave the EU. But it's time for political leaders to admit that this experiment in democracy has failed totally. Britain must remain in the EU for the next ten years and then, if there is any appetite for another go at leaving, then the government of the day must have a blueprint all ready to explain to the people. But this time there cannot be a referendum. The decision at that point should be the basis for a general election. But no election now.
