So yes the Tories and Labour will suffer in elections but there are still big swathes of the population who will not want Brexit MPS in the h of P. The arrogance of many Brexiters is absurd they talk as though everyone in this country wants Brexit which is far from the truth. The majority who voted in the referendum did marginally but what of those who didn't vote at all? This leaves aside as well the phrasing of the original question which was flawed in my opinion and was just based on knee jerk politics.
The government we have now won on penalties as you say but they still govern the country! Why did the losers not throw the dummy out of the pram over that result? As any horse racing fan will tell you a photo finish still counts as a win even if they won with the thickness of a cig paper.
