1/ The notion of the "Will of the People" as used in #Brexit politics is absolutely toxic to democracy, it demonises political opponents as "enemies of the people" and so promotes & justifies attitudes of hate, distrust and violence towards them.

2/ In a healthy democracy there is government & opposition, majority & minority, all part of the healthily bickering democratic people. There is no distinction between the "people" and others.
3/ The right to oppose is absolutely central to democracy. Dictatorships often stage elections, but they are not democratic because other key elements of democracy including the right to oppose, and the rule of law are not present.
