David Davis made the point though that Brexit is the outcome of a manifesto pledge by the government to hold an In-Out referendum this parliament so people were aware when they were electing the Conservatives that this was a possibility. I can't see there being the appetite for a general election amongst any of the main parties - the Conservatives don't want to risk their majority given how unpredictable the polls have become, Labour don't want to risk losing a lot of their seats given the state of their party, and the SNP don't want to risk their monopoly of power in Scotland. The Lib Dems would be the most enthusiastic for an election because they probably would make a fightback in the South-West where a lot of areas did have a Remain vote. I don't really think there's much appetite for a general election in the country either after the laborious EU referendum coming only a year after the last general election and inbetween that we have had local elections as well. People would probably rather a period of stability where the government could get on with business without everything being seen through the prism of another election or another load of endless promises on the campaign trail which never come to fruition.
