Surely it is better that a government at least attempts to bring the country together, rather than ignore half the voters.
Surely it is better to respect the Referendum result, which was never going to bring the country together and offer a referendum on May's deal or no deal.

It is a pillar of democracy that the losers accept (however ruefully) the majority result of a poll.
