What it does do is maintain the pressure reminding the government, if they had somehow forgotten, how divided the country is. It's a further sign of the strength of feeling around Brexit and that once we leave in March that the division and anger won't go away.

And you agree if the protesters get their way, democracy will be abused in the sense that a precedent will be set, that if future votes don’t go the way of the side that lost, the losers can protest and demand another vote?
It’s not a true democracy when there are demands to hold the same vote, again and again. It’s the EU way but UK needs to say no way, we had a vote and it’s all that is required.
