Shame on you! The people voted for Brexit. Swallow that.
On the contrary, I'd be delighted to see the people given the opportunity to vote again with greater knowledge of what a future deal may or may not look like, framed against the alternatives of no deal Brexit or remaining.

The only people scared of democracy are Brexit voters who know, against all reasonable evidence, they fluked a victory within the statistical margin of error, with the age profile of largely leave voters dying every day as largely remain voters become eligible to vote. I don't have to swallow anything, I know my great country is built upon Parliamentary sovereignty.
