Given that most MPs are Remainers with a (((globalist))) agenda, Parliament continues to go against the wishes of most of the electorate.
There is an interesting poll released yesterday by ComRes for the Daily Express (online fieldwork 14th-15th January) that shows how most Britons oppose a second referendum, and think the politicians should just get on with delivering the instructions to leave the EU that they were handed in the 2016 referendum. And a very large majority think the current generation of politicians are not up to the job, not in touch with the mood of the country, and the British political system needs a complete overhaul.

For the full breakdown, see here:
For example, Table 43, p. 46, 53% of respondents agreed with the statement “The result of the 2016 Referendum should be respected and there should be no second referendum”. Only 29% disagreed, and there were 18% “Don’t know”.
A majority agreed in all social grades, both male and female, and in both public and private employment sectors. In all age groups above 45, there was a big majority for agree (at least 63% to 25%). Those aged 35-44 were equally matched between agree and disagree, and even 25-34 showed a small majority for agree. 18-24 had 23% agree, 40% disagree, and the highest proportion of don’t knows at 36%, which shows that this younger group are really too inexperienced and uninformed - apart from their (((educational))) brainwashing - to be given a say in the political process.
When asked “How would you vote if a Referendum to stay in the EU or leave were held tomorrow?” (see Table 37, p. 40), Remain had a small majority with 44% compared to 40% for Leave. This is after Theresa May’s ‘incompetence’ in taking two-and-a-half years to negotiate a deal that was brilliant for the EU but would have turned the UK into a vassal state, and a barrage of propaganda from (((the media))) about how no “sane” person should support a “hard” Brexit, and ‘predictions’ about Brexit being an unmitigated disaster, etc…
Males still preferred Leave (45%) to Remain (42%). Females were 47% Remain, 35% Leave. The age groups over 45 had a majority for Leave. 18-24 had the greatest majority for Remain, at 67% to 16%. Leave had a majority in the ‘lower’ social grades C2 and DE, with Remain winning amongst grades AB and C1. This latter group were clearly worried about the alleged economic costs of Brexit.
Table 39, p. 42, shows a very strong correlation between party allegiance and views on the EU. Amongst those who intended to vote Conservative, 65% would vote Leave and 28% Remain. Those who backed UKIP were 93% Leave, although bizarrely 5% would vote Remain. Would-be Labour voters were 63% Remain, 25% Leave. Lib Dem supporters were the most ardent backers of Remain at 88% compared to 9% for leave.
So, even supposing that this poll reflects a slight swing towards Remain after more than two years in which Theresa May ‘accidentally’ failed to get a good EU withdrawal deal, there are still enough relatively sensible Remainers who accept that we should just get on with implementing the 2016 Leave vote, and that it would make a mockery of democracy to keep voting until Remainers get the result they want.
And since most Parliamentarians want to find some way of thwarting Brexit, this confirms that most people are correct in their conclusions that politicians are “not up to the job” and “not in touch with the mood of the country”.
Only 10% of respondents agreed that “The Brexit process has shown that politicians are in touch with the mood of the country”, compared with 74% who disagreed. And 75% agreed that “The Brexit process has shown that the current generation of politicians are not up to the job”. 72% agreed that “The Brexit process has shown that the British political system needs a complete overhaul”.
52% agreed that “…if Brexit is stopped it will cause ‘a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy’”, compared to 26% who disagreed and 22% who did not know. And 72% supported “Having a written Constitution to provide clear legal rules for how Government Ministers, Parliament and civil servants are required to act”; a mere 7% opposed the proposition, and 21% did not know.
