@ DMcG I assume you mean (And Westminster ought to be s**t-scared.)
Indeed they should. To run with the hares and hunt with the hounds will always end in tears.
Cameron said the people must decide. They did with a referendum!
Article 50 was passed with a huge majority.
A General Election was called with both parties advocating leave as the mainstay of their ticket.
Since that time a majority in the house have tried to frustrate brexit and destroy democracy.
Both leavers and remainers feel very strongly that Parliament is willfully denying the wishes of the electorate. As recent polls show very clearly the backlash against the two main parties is gathering strength daily. It has now gone beyond simply brexit and the behaviour of both Labour and the Tories is regarded as an affront to democracy.
