Strap in. One way or another, we're going to be living in interesting times.
It was always going to happen. Things got very entrenched very quickly, which left little or no room for compromise. Had the EU and remainers taken a more accepting and conciliatory stance immediately after the vote, it's possible people might have accepted a more fudged outcome. However, the arrogance, sneering and screaming on one side for it to be stopped simply made people on the other side even more determined for it to go ahead.

It will be interesting, but things were going to be interesting whatever happened. There are huge issues looming over Europe right now with the potential to make Brexit look like a sideshow.
