The government "pretends" to do the will of the people only when they're called out, like AFTER a vote, the Parliament does whatever the hell it bloody well chooses. THAT is why Cameron resigned (pretense of democracy). They'll now "pretend" to be pulling out of the EU, whilst their press/propaganda machine kicks in and doom and glooms the public into another "Stay" vote.<br /><br />This is the opening volley.
