What Brexit and impeachment have in common

We have a parliament that is frightened of the electorate.

We have a politicised judiciary.

We have a government with no majority.

We have a population who fear that democracy is at risk.

The next general election will be fascinating, if we’re ever allowed to have one.

There's a striking parallel between our situation and Brexit. The electorate voted in favor of Brexit, but the Parliamentary and judicial elites want to vacate their vote. They despise popular sovereignty. Likewise, Executive agencies under Obama tried to throw the election to Hillary. When that failed, they tried to have Trump removed on a 25th Amendment pretext. When that failed, they moved to impeachment, even though the next election is just 13 months out. Once again, they despise popular sovereignty.
