people like my niece can't get a job in her field even thou she has studied for 5 years in trade school... because hiring a migrant is 15-25% cheaper than hiring an ethnic Swede?!
She could get a job if she wasn’t asking for an inflated salary and knew what she’s worth.

You’re right that you don’t know the legal rules. They only need to take the result into consideration. It’s advisory only, and therefore not necessarily pointless.

You’re wrong. Their job is to take it into consideration. They’re not obliged to implement anything.

I guess someone who believes coloring a map makes you win an election really must call Donald Dumb for help. Good to know who her allies are.

"So if 180 senior executives across a large number of UK financial firms"
Cough.... From the OP "More than 60% of responses were from Britain and the United States, with the rest mainly from Hong Kong, Ireland, Singapore and Luxembourg."
So pretty much from all the major financial hubs. Of course, a Brexiteer with his degree in supermarket shelves knows better than all those Johnny Foreigners.

Why are there no Brit names in the running, are we no longer members?
As the UK appears to still be funding 25% of this boondoggle, should we not get to propose at least one of the four candidates?
You should march from Sunderland to Brussels in a Union Jack. Maybe someone will hear you.

Where do I say that? Feel free to quote me properly and in full.
You said you “cancelled all that [lies] out” because you “saw lies from both sides”. Every sane person would agree that even more lies don’t make it better.

There has already been a vote. The UK voted to leave. End of. You shouldn't be able to change the result just because you didn't like the outcome that the country voted for.

Imagine in years to come when future generations ask their parents, 'where is Britain' what will their answer be, 'you are living here son, but we cannot call it Britain anymore, we have to refer to it as The United States of Europe, but don't worry son, you can visit anywhere in Europe without a visa, now wasn't that worth losing our national identity for.
“losing our national identity” ???? I’m surprised Brexiteers actually can spell that, they certainly couldn’t explain it. I’m certainly wondering what national identity I have lost during my time in the EU. Hope you’re not losing too much national identity by living in Thailand. Definitely make sure to heil the Union Jack twice a day and never eat anything else than fish and chips.

1. It is highly unlikely that any future PM, even the hardest Brexiteer ultra, would put his name under the no-deal suicide mission. Too much to lose for a PM; he would always seek the buy-in from a majority first.
2. Such majority does not exist.
3. That means we are back where we are. That impasse cannot be overcome in parliament. There is no majority for any of the options on the table.
4. A GE would be political suicide for the Tories. They know that.
5. So it has to be a referendum. It’ll break the impasse, close Brexit, and let everyone move on. A Tory PM can claim he has solved Brexit, and can always refer to the people having decided it. They can save their party by focusing on actual issues.
6. Pat and his friends from the Internet-meme factory will keep posting their gifs and YouTube videos until they’ve died the Tommy Robinson death and the country is free again.
Sounds like the most realistic outcome. And a way for a Tory turnaround.

And then there’s always The Speaker: The Speaker of the House of Commons sensationally dismissed top contender for Mrs May’s coveted role Boris Johnson, who said the UK will leave on 31 October “deal or no deal”. Mr Bercow, an avid Remainer, said: “The idea the House won't have its say is for the birds.” He added during a speech in the US: “The idea that parliament is going to be evacuated from the centre stage of debate on Brexit is unimaginable.” https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1132839/brexit-latest-news-nigel-farage-brexit-party-european-elections-tories-labour

Not even the hardest Brexiteer PM would accept responsibility for a no-deal Brexit. Wishful thinking of people who never made it beyond a 9-to-5 job that someone in charge of a country would actually put his name under that suicide mission. It would need someone of the caliber of a Donald Dumb for that. Not even Farage would do it. He’s just smart enough to shout from the sidelines, knowing that his followers are uneducated fools who will believe the nonsense and fill his pockets.
If anything, a hard Brexiteer PM would seek buy-in from a majority so he share the finger that would pointed at him. That majority does not exist.
So, in the end, we will just hear the usual talking big that already May failed with, before it’s crawling back to the withdrawal agreement.
Better still would be someone with the leadership skills to cut through the bullshyt and manage expectations.

Good news. This will make Brexiteers go nuts again. I can already hear them
moan “betrayal” and post a collage of Internet memes.

It's called loyalty. A rare attribute these days. Could affect both leavers and remainers. Doesn’t make sense right?
No, it doesn’t make sense. I could as well suggest there are Remainers in the Brexit party number just because they love Farage so much.

Wrong - as you ought to be aware, there are people who will blindly/loyally continue to support the party of their choice....and probably the choice of their father before them.
My question was why anyone who truly wants Brexit would not support the Brexit party but rather one of the main parties. No one has been able to answer my question, including yourself. Simply because it doesn’t make sense that someone who supports Brexit would not vote for Brexit but for what is father voted for. It makes as much sense as suggesting there could be remainers in the Brexit party vote just because their dad always voted for Farage.

I wasn’t necessarily assuming a preferences. I mainly asked whether you actually find your predictions realistic.
59 minutes ago, JonnyF said:As a Democrat first and foremost, I simply want someone who implements the promises made in their party's manifesto, and respects the electorate and democracy enough to implement the result of the referendum. I don't see that as extremist or unreasonable, no matter how much the anti-democrats try to twist things.
I don’t think it is democratic to implement something that is not the wish of the people. I don’t think it is democratic to implement the result of a vote that was heavily manipulated with false promises and outright lie. I don’t even think it is democratic to ask people to decide something that is too complex for the majority in the first place.

Tories and Labour are leave parties or still were at the last election and manifesto.
There was one clear Brexit party. A single-topic, even named after it Brexit party. And you wanna tell us Brexiteers voted Tories or Labour instead, the two parties the same Brexiteers claim are “overturning” Brexit? The two parties that were over the last couple of weeks discussing a customs union? You don’t really believe your own nonsense, do you?

British Labour leader Corbyn set to back second Brexit referendum - report

But do you really believe there exists a PM candidate who would actually take over the responsibility and put his name under a no-deal Brexit (and who would be voted in)? Unless most Brexiteers, those guys have something to lose. I would actually bet some money on this and donate it should I be wrong (I’m sure there would be a development fund to rebuild the UK after a no-deal suicide).
