Signs for that are much more positive, as Northern constituencies switch to Remain.
How do you know they've switched to remain? I think those pushing for a 2nd referendum (or "Peoples Vote") need to tread very carefully. You could end up increasing the mandate for Brexit.
I know round here the general feeling on the doorstep is "why don't we just get on with it?". I haven't spoken to any Bexit voters who've switched to Remain but I've spoken to plenty of Remain voters who believe the result should be respected.
Saying all that, I'm not against a vote on the final outcome. Timing is everything though...
. Leave under Chequers rules (The EU laws that we helped to make will not allow this).
. No deal (Article 50, paragraph 3) We're fucked.
. Status quo (and try to rebuild this fractured union).
Let's go for proper electoral reform after so that everyone has representation.
