Yeah, but voting against will leave them open to huge attacks next time round as not being willing to represent their constituents - probably from within their parties as well as from opponents. Can't see them doing anything other than taking the path of least resistance.

Sometimes elected representatives have to take positions that are unpopular. Capital punishment is a classic example.

And I think the impact of Brexit is quite clearly larger (and worse) for the majority of the population than capital punishment.

(Although capital punishment is certainly a greater moral wrong).

Maybe this will allow for a glorious new era of politicians acting like adults and discussing issues.
