why? just my opinion i suppose. I like democracy, etc etc etc, i f you mean why woill it get worse? then imo it's because we need to work together.
I like democracy too - it's literally why The West is better than most other places. The Brexit vote was an exercise in democracy against an organisation that is not democratically elected.
Nonetheless, some folk decided when they didn't like the result they would try and either ignore it or overturn it, which is not really very democratic.
It's also worth noting that since the Brexit vote extremists have found themselves on the fringes (if not kicked out) of British politics, and the next election will be fought by two of the blandest centrist parties imaginable.
Also, strange to say that standing up to the USA is apparently important, but standing up to the EU isn't.
