Oh come on. Even if the Lib-Dems get an absolute majority they won't get the same percentage of the vote as in the referendum, and the election probably won't have as high turnout.

So, no, no mandate for overturning the referendum.

If you don't like the results of referndums you shouldn't call for them to be held. Swinson argued the British people themselves deserved a say - now she argues the opposite.
