Mays defeat is almost certain, but the real question is what they will do after today. Stick with hard Brexit, which i doubt they will, or ignore the referndum and stay in the EU? Big humiliation, an essential display of politician'S disrespect for the referendum, and a triumphant propaganda victory for the EU: Once the EU's, forever the EU's. There is no opting out of its treaties. Long live the EU superstate.

And a second referendum? Would immensely deepüen the rifts and lead to a polarization of civil society that may be really dangegrous for the stability of it. Plus it would rape "democracy's" holy grail: the majority decision principle.

When little kids are too small to play responsibly with matches, you send them on an even bigger playground where they can play with barrels of fuel and open fire. Logical. And where adults act corrupteldy on a limited scale, and you expand their reach and freedoms for decision making, they will not grow the consequences of their corruption and their seflish basic attitude at all, because it is a sane, reasonable world where power-hungry people act good and nicely and nobody seeks to push his priviliges to the max. Dozens and dozens of different cultures and ethnicities - and we are all a happy family.

The answer is not more and more and bigger and bigger state and more and more fat cats - the answer is to cut back states and deny fat cats their playgrounds and give people back their self-responsibility.
