British Prime Minister Theresa May warned lawmakers on Sunday that failing to deliver Brexit would be catastrophic for democracy. Many believe Brexit will be catastrophic for the country, if not the Union.
What she didn't say was that under the British system of representative democracy, Parliament is sovereign - not the Prime Minister, not the people, but Parliament.
Poll after poll has demonstrated that support for Brexit is now in a minority, so she'd be well advised, after two and a half years from the last vote, whether the 'will of the people' (which actually means nothing) is still as it was in 2016.
I am still of the firm belief that she's playing the long game and that a 2nd referendum will eventually materialise at the right time.
