What if the remain vote was split between Lib Dem and greens.
I'd suggest that people voting for the Green's are more concerned about the environment than Brexit.
You should be one of those guys in the spin room

It will be by the time we discuss this in a weeks time and the “no leave mandate “ is back on the table.

The greens are a pro EU party so Brexiteers wouldn't vote for them.

You have to count people who voted for remain parties as Brexiteers, otherwise something something treachery.

There is a leave mandate. There isn't a no deal mandate or mandate for any individual form of leave. This you know well and I'm sure it just slipped your mind.

I would suggest that you can't comprehend people who have more than one motivation to vote for a party. I mean, imagine voting for both the environment and to remain in the EU?! :shock:

So it’s quite simple, although Hard Brexit is FPTP in the UK, it doesn’t command a % majority, and people were simplistically simpering about the hypothetical will-of-the-people during the year of Westminster wranglings. It turns out all the inaction regarding any specific direction was completely indicative of the electorate aggregate demands.

The Green's number one message is climate change, the Lib Dem's number one message is 'Bollox to Brexit #FBPEU'.

You are correct. Well no mandate to leave in a specific way. That is why it is such a mess. Blame the silly tosser who wrote the original referendum question assuming a remain win.

Ahead of the 2016 referendum, the Green Party campaigned to Remain in the EU, and we’re going to continue to fight for the Britain we believe in.

I personally stand to lose out if a No Deal Brexit happens because the £ will substantially fall, so I wish the LDs well.

What will they negotiate?

BP “We don’t want to negotiate”

EU “OK”

BP “No deal”

EU “OK”

It’s probably simpler to be fair.
