We will need a couple of more enlightened Parliaments until this is achieved.
We'll also need a significantly more sophisticated electorate who can see the world other than in black and white absolutes. Sadly, as this thread sometimes shows, we are not there yet.

When you vote in a referendum, I suspect you feel you're making the best decision you can given the complexities of the situation and a voting system which doesn't allow you a nuanced way to express your preferences. You also seem to think you're the only person in the world doing this.

'We' are anyone who opposed the flatearth brexiteur Brexit in any way,
writing to an MP, joining a local campaign, or attending either of the Marches,
any one who has in any way contributed to counter the oft-repeated claim by the
media hogging brexiteurs who claim, without demur from their interviewers,
'All I hear in my constituency is 'Get on with It''.
I hope we have passed, forever*, the time when parliamentary majorities allow the 'Winner' to ignore the 'Loser'. Consensus can only be achieved by finding common ground,
on each invididual topic. Welcoming Dominic Grieve 'seeing the light' over brexit does not give him a free pass on being a Universal Benefit supporting Tory.
