Recent polls show that around 57% of the population realize that Brexit was a mistake. The fact that that large majority is unrepresented by either of the two major parties demonstrates the complete failure of the two-party "first part the post" electoral system. The best hope for the country is for the next election to result in a "hung parliament" with the minor parties (SNP and Lib Dems) holding the balance of power. Hopefully the country can then adopt a more democratic electoral system (proportional representation) and a closer alignment with the EU. It is utter madness for the entire country to be held to ransom by the "red wall voters" or "swing voters" who are a tiny minority of the overall electorate.

Very informative. Thank you, even though it has made me even more depressed (as a Brit).
