Pretty astute - I see increasing polarisation in the news and politics of the USA, UK, Poland, India and Australia.

Democracy when opinions are split nearly 50:50 will always be fraught with rage

That is the point of freedom. If there is no general consensus as to what is to be done, maybe government should do nothing. Leaving a country in the EU is not a blow for democracy nor is it doing nothing to promote individual freedom. It is abdication of sovereignty to a crushing tyrannical bureaucratic regime of Euroweenies.

Pah, another deep state loon.

Aside from the politics, what about the FACT that the population voted to Brexit in 2 referendums? Everything else is deep state posturing and tired political pseudo arguments. If Parliament cared a bit about the people, they would give a big F@ck You to the EU. Sovereign nations to what the hell they want to do, end of story. Europeans seem to have forgotten that.

All political force ultimately comes out of the barrel of a gun.
