Tim Farron is either a bit thick or deceitful.
What does Brexit mean? Once we know, the people must have a vote on it
Brexit means leaving the EU. We had a vote back in June. Not get the fuck on with it.
It does not matter which side of this debate you were on. Whether you voted leave or remain, you deserve the right to have a say on what happens next, and the Lib Dems will fight to give that to you.
All eight of you? You and your party are an irrelevance now. That you are willing to prostitute yourselves in order to gain some sort of relevance, to undermine a democratically held vote means you are worthy of nothing other than contempt.
That’s why, unless the government backs our plan to give the public a say, we will vote against triggering article 50. We want a guarantee that there will be a referendum on the deal at the end of the negotiations, when people can vote for that deal or to remain in Europe.
Hang on a minute… When the public has its say, these people want to undermine it. They want parliament to override us. Now he is arguing for another referendum so that we can have our say… My head is starting to spin.
To those who say that our plans are undemocratic, I say: what could be more democratic than giving people a vote?
Yes. We had it back in June. We delivered our verdict. Now you deliver the outcome.

All requirements met.
You missed out “Politician”and “Some assembly required”.
It’s a little rude and disrespectful to describe Tim Farron as “a bit thick”.
“A compete tool” would be more accurate and more along the lines of what everyone except about 73 Liberal Democrats think of him.
If there was to be a vote, it would be, do you accept the negotiated outcome or do you want us to go back to the negotiating table? Staying in Europe would not be an option, we’ve already had that vote. But the negotiations will only be after Article 50 has been invoked, so if negotiations fail (e.g. because people vote against the outcome), the UK will simply leave 2 years after the date of invocation without an agreement in place. Article 50 has no provision for a reversal of the exit process.
