So the LibDems will be entering into any General Election campaign on a ticket of revoking Article 50.
The Remainer in me welcomes this, as it will attract votes for a cause I'm in favour of, yet the democrat in me believes it's wrong to conflate Brexit with a General Election, as a whole raft of policies will be ignored by many. The LibDems could feasibly sneak the reintroduction of child labour into the manifesto, but a lot of people wouldn't even bother to read it, focusing solely on the Brexit argument instead.
The same would go for any party standing on a ticket of Hard Brexit - it shouldn't cloud the issue of governing the country in a professional manner, not that Hard Brexit has one iota to do with professional governance and everything to do with disaster capitalism.
Brexit should be resolved, one way or the other, before any General Election, or the governance of the country will suffer.
