So actually they will not have fulfilled their end. There were over a million votes in it and if people feel cheated it could be a lot more votes for far-right parties next time.

I don't think people are as fickle as you think. What alternative is there to the Tories, Corben, he will ruin this country and people would rather vote for Shrek, so there is no real choice.
Dissatisfaction is nothing new for the government to deal with, if a soft brexit benefits us more than a hard one then they'll cast aside the wants of the Leave side and accept the deal.

Those people might complain but they'll forget about it by the next election, like I said before, a lot of voters have short memories. Some other issue will dominate the next elections and people will have moved on.

I doubt any far right parties will gain any ground, UKIP will flounder now it's core purpose is complete and Farage is gone and things will remain a two horse race between the Tories and Labour.
