People are protesting because they are rightly fearful of what this result is going to amount to, especially with the people that are about to ascend to power. That is their right. They are protesting against the xenophobia and racism that multiple people have experienced in the last week. That is their right. They are protesting because they want the things that protected the working people of the UK to be protected by the new government. That is their right.

The vote is done and a second referendum isn't going to happen. So what is the problem? Allow these people their voices if you're such a proponent of democracy, if it isn't going to change anything you're in support of then it's no harm done is it? Or are you scared that the things you've fought for are in jeopardy the more people speak out?

Either way, democracy works both ways. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.
