(Which of course is to accept your assumption that a new referendum would be “Deal or remain”, something everyone is being careful not to talk about right now.)
Our society has been fractured since the 80s. Nothing new there. However our Establishment doesn’t view that as a problem, Brexit on the other hand is.

In the words of the Chancellor the talk is of a “confirmatory referendum”, that necessitates endorsing the decision to leave.
