This https://order-order.com/2018/11/27/experts-parliament-cant-force-second-referendum/ from Guido Fawkes misses, maybe deliberately, the obvious:
'Constitutional experts Vernon Bogdanor and Lord Kerslake both agree that there is no way for Parliament to force a second referendum without a cooperative executive.
Professor Bogdanor confirms that as the Withdrawal Agreement is a treaty, Parliament can either ratify it or not. "A referendum amendment would have no effect on its own, to have a second referendum you need legislation which in 2015 took seven months to get through Parliament."
Former Head of the Civil Service Lord Kerslake agrees, saying "there has to be, as Vernon says, legislation… the way forward has to come with the involvement and the agreement of Government."
The only scenarios that could happen are those that Number 10 would be willing to entertain…'
Theresa Remainer and Quisling May would be very happy to have a second referendum, so long as the Remoaners win it. To that end, if you think that the political class and the BBC were biased during the run up to the 2016 election, you ain't seen nothing yet!
