Will remainers and remoaners overcome the democratic result of the 2016 referendum and undermine the people who voted to leave? They might well. If they do - it will only amount to a pyrrhic victory and they should be both very concerned and very ashamed about that.
Why will it at best be a pyrrhic victory only? Because it would have been achieved by trashing our democracy. The implications and consequences of this will haunt us for generations. The UK will no longer be regarded as a leader in the free world for the principles of universal suffrage and democracy. We will be regarded as a nation of hypocrites if we ever try and promote our vision of democracy again. "You did not uphold democracy yourselves because your leaders did not like your democratic decision". We will be diminished as a nation with the democratic thread that holds our complex society broken. Who knows what forces that will unleash.
For sure we will be on a downward spiral - the national morale on the floor - divided and embittered - being forced to go back to an emboldened federalist EU with our tail between our legs. Diminished. A shocking humiliation for a once great nation.
Too many of our MP's have been unprincipled and have been prepared to trash our democracy with weasel words and all justified for a % or two on our GDP growth forecast (which might well be wrong anyway.) and or short term political advantage.
Shame on them and shame on remainers that have played fast and loose with our democracy and sullied our reputation.
