Worth seeing again - whether pro or ...

Worth seeing again - whether pro or against Brexit, I still feel the long-term political odds are in favour of remain, and that it will end up with "we did our damnest to get out with an acceptable deal" and that they will promise another referendum if re-elected (so they can kick the ball into the long grass), hoping in 6 years or so enough pro-remain youngsters will have entered the electorate and enough pro-brexit oldies "left" (apparently it's 70:30, 30:70 respectively) so another referendum that far down the line would be safe. Safe that is, for Tory donors, who I believe are mostly (but not all) strongly remain, for business reasons. All comes down to politics... trying to satisfy the electorate (and prevent riots) while eventually keeping the hands that feed them happy.
