In a hung parliament who is going to be on the Brexit negotiating team? Consider that both Lib Dems and SNP are anti-Brexit. You can't negotiate a good deal if you don't want it to succeed and know that it will be voted on at the end. Brexit won because to many people were protesting. That protest evaporates in a hung parliament because there is not a single clear thing to protest against. Add to that the the demographics of the Brexit vote and the slim majority mean that by the time it actually happens enough old people will have died off to lose the majority.
You say Brexit is happening. How exactly will this happen in a hung parliament? Remember, Brexit was only an advisory referendum. It was not legally binding. It just seems like that because the Tories had such a hard-on for it. Where is the mandate for it?
