    Something will happen and its name will be Brexit. But the details matter.

    If Labour wins and has the power to negotiate Brexit terms, then the post-Brexit world could look an awful lot like the pre-Brexit world, with major concessions being made in exchange for continued access to EU common markets. It could be Brexit in name only,

    The easiest solution would be for the other three countries to throw England out!

    It's not a special election. It's an ordinary general election, which can happen at any time if the House of Commons votes for it.

    It cannot reverse Brexit because that's not a question on the ballot. We simply elect our MPs. Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union has already been triggered, and the article contains no provision for "untriggering" it. It clearly states that once a member state gives notice to the European Council that it is leaving (which Theresa May did on 30 March), it WILL leave 2 years later unless all 28 member states agree to extend that period. The 2 years is simply to give time for negotiating the "divorce settlement".

    Which brings it down to what the government after the election will do about it. The Conservatives are absolutely definite - Brexit means Brexit and it will involve leaving the entire EU apparatus. Labour, the only other party with more than a snowball's chance in Hell of winning, wants to stay in the Single Market and the customs union, which will effectively render Brexit meaningless as it will mean the UK leaves the EU in name only. (Though that will still benefit our fishermen as it means we will be out of the Common Fisheries Policy - the big reason Norway never joined.)

    Labour intend to accept whatever "divorce settlement" that emanates from Brussels, notwithstanding if "no deal" turns out to be better than what's on offer, while the Conservatives are quite prepared to walk away from the table if the EU won't agree to anything acceptable to Britain.

    So it depends on what you think Brexit ought to mean. Brexit WILL happen, it's a matter of what kind of Brexit.

    Its not a special election,its a snap election. No it cant reverse the results of the referendum that Labour respects as well.We are leaving the EU,so its best to accept that fact.

    It's a general election, not a special election.

    If the Lib Dems won, they could hold a second referendum to clarify if the UK is happy with the terms of Brexit. This could yet stop it happening.

    No, because it's not on the ballot.
