Brexit and the UK General Election

Ok, let’s talk about Brexit and the current state of our politics, our democracy.
Clearly, the real underbelly of our society is finally out in the open. And the exploitability of democracy has again been aptly demonstrated. If a majority have an issue, politicians must try to address the issue, regardless of what they believe. If they believe that majority is wrong (and we know from history that the majority is not always right and when left unchecked, the result can sometimes be catastrophic e.g. WW2), it is their job to try to convince that majority otherwise and that was the opportunity made available ahead of the Brexit referendum held in 2016. That is how democracy should work. To go through that process, get a result (and whether it is a result we all agree or disagree with is beside the point) and then have mainstream political parties like the Liberal Democrats seeking to unilaterally upend that result or others being noncommittal and leading politicians past and present telling that majority that their opinion counts for nothing and can be overruled, is reprehensible 
Some of the lies told in 2016, which may have contributed to the result of the Brexit referendum do not necessarily address the fact that millions of people had reasons to believe we are better out of the EU. The onus was on those who believe we are better off in the EU to convince others. 
The saddest aspect of this entire saga to date, is that all the good work put in over the last 50 years to build a cohesive Britain in which all inhabitants of this great island – be it those who can trace their lineage back centuries or those born in recent years to immigrants, Nobody predetermines where they show up as a baby; it is a random occurrence. None of us chose where we were born or to whom we were born – has gone to waste. We are now firmly back to that era where some think they are more British than others and those who voted to exit the EU now see themselves as the real Brits and supposed custodians of a national identity. 
The referendum was held and won by those seeking to leave the EU (I was of an opposing view and still believe that forcing the EU to change, mordernise, cut the extreme red-tape and staying within the EU is a better situation for the UK – but given that view didn’t win the referendum, one must accept that result) and every Brit should work towards ensuring we can all forget our differences and move forward. If those forecasting doom are correct, then why don’t they (and everyone else) work together to see how we can collectively deal with any negatives that comes from Brexit? We are an extremely resourceful nation and I am certain that if we all come together, we will be able to address any negative impact of exiting the EU, instead of perpetuating this “leavers” and “remainers ” divide, which many on either side appear bizarrely keen to keep on flogging. 
Society has to move on. We cannot go back to whichever good old days some people can recall; be it days when the population was low and as such, the streets were cleaner, roads less busy etc. We are no longer in that era and cannot possibly travel back in time. The dynamics of global politics are now very different and those stuck in the past, hoping to get that past back are going to be repeatedly disappointed
