Not much point making a prediction if you don't write it down and check back on it later.
So here is mine.
The powers that be don't like Brexit. They are looking for a way around it. I suspect they will use a general election to get another referendum.
In 2015, the Conservatives became the UK government with 36.9% of the vote on a turnout of 66.4%. So just under 24% of those eligible to vote chose the current government.
As there is no box on the ballot for 'no government', I did not vote and was part of the 33.6% who for one reason or another did the same. This is more than the Labour party got. Where is my representation? But I got a little sidetracked.
So, both main parties are about to change leaders. I predict at least one of them will choose a pro-EU candidate who promises to hold a new referendum if elected. This will effectively turn the next general election in to a second EU referendum. If they win with a mere 24% vote from the eligible voters, then bingo, bango, bongo it's referendum number two, and this time it is irreversible.
On a side note. The Scots hold the balance of power in the UK. As long as they are voting for the SNP, then the UK will have a Conservative government. If Scotland secedes, the remainder of the UK will have a Conservative government.
