Corbyn has called for a general election to "break the Brexit deadlock"

What a stupid move. By trying to make Brexit a party issue - which it isn't and never will be - he is opening the door for a victory for the Conservatives as a victory for Brexit and that has every chance of happening as even the most pro-EU Tories and voters will back their party first.
If he wants to get into power, the only way forward is to demand a properly informed people's vote with multiple options and if his position defeats May he then may have enough of a platform to go for it. But asking for that now is suicidal and dumb.

The man's not fit to lead the Labour party.

The parties official stance is to renegotiate a better deal with the EU. So this is the only move. A second referendum should only be the absolute last resort if parliament fails.

Yes they want a new unique CU and SM with all the benefits of membership and none of the burdens.

When the Tories said similar things they were pilloried.  "Cake and eat it"

He's also ruled out no deal. So the EU know they don't have to offer anything and he will never walk away.

Fantastic stuff.

Yes as long as there are about 12 leave options and remain well know it definitely wasn't rigged .

I agree to a certain extent, but I honestly believe that the only way Labour would get in is to back cancelling completely Article 50. The other thing is that some people believe Corbyn doesn't actually want to be PM and is happy with just being the Leader of the Opposition. What is certain is neither of the main Party leaders is fit to be PM at this time.

Corbyn is an idiot. A general election will solve nothing and with him as Labour leader there is no guarantee the Tories won't be re-elected.

Plus the EU have said they won't renegotiate and his policy, contrary to the wishes of most Labour voters, is to proceed with brexit.

The only options on the table are a disastrous no deal exit or another referendum. If brexit fans weren't such hypocrites they would welcome a second referendum as if they won it brexit would be unstoppable. Whatever happened to taking back control?

Why would it be unstoppable? 

Many would call for a third vote and they'd be entitled too. Things change quickly in politics and people are allowed to change their minds.

People aren't allowed to change their minds according to Theresa May. At the end of the day, something as monumentally complicated as being a part of the EU or not should never have been broken down in to simple "Leave" or "Remain" options. How stupid was Cameron, how stupid is May, how stupid is Corbyn, how stupid was Blair. The list of clueless self serving MPs is endless. Nearly all of them are giving their "opinions and beliefs" based only on what they themselves can get out of it or already have.

That may be. But it doesn't negate the fact if people can change their mind once without the result being implemented they surely can again. And should be able to in all future referenda and elections 

I welcome it. The people know best.

Disagree X, surely a second referendum should only be considered once all parliamentary options are exhausted - and until a general election takes place that hasn’t happened.

The EU sworn renegotiate on a deal restricted by May’s red lines but Labour want to remain a part of the Customs Union and would agree to align workers rights. These things may make a difference in securing a deal. If a better one can’t be delivered then that’s the time for a second referendum, as this shit will never pass.

The two main problems with calling for a general election are:
1. we are quite likely to end up with a parliament much like the one we have now and if Labour fails to win a majority we are right back to where we are now, and
2. Corbyn will campaign to leave the EU contrary to the views of most Labour voters and the overwhelming majority of Labour party members.

That is why I think we need a second referendum.

Point 2 - this is not contrary to the most important factor though - the vote itself. And politicians do have a responsibility to try and uphold democracy.

If they fail to, it comes back to the people.

What is undemocratic about giving people a vote now that we know the terms on which we would leave the EU. Surely that is the very definition of it coming "back to the people".

Forced to use food banks.

Some people have no other option than to use foodbanks and that's wholly the fault of the austerity cuts implemented by the Tories, That foodbanks even exist is a national disgrace.

To keep a final referendum simple, two questions:

1) Leave EU Yes or No?

2) If the majority vote to leave, May's deal or No Deal?

That just about covers the realistic options I reckon.

I won't vote again. And millions of others won't either.

What's the point of voting if results are ignored?

I hardly think the partial referendum vote has been ignored. Au contraire, we have a bunch of politicians trying to railroad the country down the road to purgatory on the back of it in pursuit of their own political interests.
But now that the lies have been exposed, and the realistic options are on the table for the first time why should the country be denied a vote?

We were given a vote on whether or not we wanted 70 million Turks to move to England and whether or not we should give the NHS £350 million a week neither of which were ever going to happen, so why should we not be given a vote on things that might actually happen?
