>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.
So who are the 16,141,241 who voted remain. Not British presumably. Nice that you get into the "will of the people" thing though and no great surprise.
"Margaret Thatcher once called referendums ‘a device of dictators and demagogues.’ She was quoting Clement Attlee as his mid-century generation had seen or remembered how Hitler and Napoleon III used plebiscites to get popular endorsement for their decisions"
