We have a similar thing here in the UK now. Out right leaning MSM depicts any opposition to the government policy about leaving the EU (hard Brexit soft Brexit etc) as being "against the will of the people". Its a frightening new development in national politics.

Why is it so frightening? AFAIK, Brexit IS the will f the people. weren't those the results of the referendum? Typical liberal speak. The results are only the will of the people when they agree with you. Sorry Nick. Contrary to what you may mistakenly believe, you do NOT know what is best for anyone other than yourself.
