Well, there's merit in what you say, but I'm not sure how relevant it is to what's happening in the 'here and now' when so much is disinterating before our eyes and 'power' is up for grabs in a way it hasn't been for a long, long, time. Another referendum, an election, a change of government, probably won't really change very much, because after three years of polarisation and partisanship, that looks like the beginning of a civil war, perhaps things have gone too far for compromise or a consensus. I think Brexit and the EU are merely screens on which people project their dreams, desires, values; the EU as a symbol of what they don't like or what they do like, whilst underneath the tectonic plates of politics and society are shifting in ways that are difficult to understand.
