Great article by Richard Littlejohn:
They wanted a second People's Vote... and they got the one they deserved
This wasn't just a defiant reaffirmation of the EU referendum result, it was a
damning repudiation of those who have spent the past three and a half years
trying to Stop Brexit.
It also served as a timely reminder that there is life outside the Westminster
bubble, that social media is not the real world.
As late as Thursday lunchtime, political commentators were confidently
predicting a hung parliament on the evidence of a handful of photos on
Twitter showing a few dozen young people queueing at polling stations in
London.
Like children chasing a football round a school playground, they all rushed to
follow the herd.
The Corbynistas were crushed. The self-deluding Remain Alliance, which
thought it could bully the British people into reversing the referendum result,
was routed.
This time it was personal. This time they were on the ballot. They had
everything to lose. And lose they did, on a spectacular scale. They didn't just
lose a referendum, they lost their jobs. They had it coming.
Grieve, Gauke, Soubry Loo and the rest were all sent packing. Not a single
one of the turncoat Tory MPs who rebelled against their own government over
Brexit managed to retain their seats.
Nor did any of those who resigned the Labour whip to join Change UK or the
Lib Dems, Chucky Umunna included. What an ignominious downfall for the
man dubbed (by himself, probably) Britain's Barack Obama.
