In a general election we know in five years time (or whenever otherwise agreed) we get to vote for a different party.
With a general election there is one part of the country where none of the main UK parties stand for election.
Whilst 2 others have special local only parties. All of these mean consensus is unlikely, a majority of the electorate choosing one party to govern even more remote, so we end up with minority governments dictating because they hit the magic number of seats.
The EU ref was a three way option - In - out - or not vote at all and a decision with consequences far reaching beyond the next 5 years. So people will continue to discuss, worry and complain.
