As unpleasant as this event is for those of us who voted to remain, it is an opportunity. Rather than putting our energy into obstructing democracy and creating division, we should instead embrace the opportunity to build a better UK that we all want. We can start by holding the next government accountable to the promises repeatedly touted to us by the Leave campaign including replacing funding lost from our leaving the EU and a significant increase in funding to the NHS. We all heard the promises, and every presenter that repeatedly broadcast Leave's promises of millions of pounds for ‘other priorities like the NHS’ on their shows to the millions of voters is responsible for making sure those promises are kept.
Now it is our responsibility to hold our presenters and our government accountable to what we were told. There is much to be done: our MPs need to be focused on bills in Parliament that will codify and specify in detail how the promises we all heard will be delivered. We do not have time for power squabbles. If we all work together, maybe we can actually accomplish these things and more. We certainly are not going to accomplish anything with obstruction and division, however emotionally satisfying.
