The present situation keeps reminding me of the civil war era which we studied at enormous length at school. Part of the population decided it was time for a radical shake-up, part stood up for the way things were, while most just wanted to go about their business in peace.
Once the great decision had been made to cut off the King's head, no-one knew exactly what to do as things didn't get much better and after 10 years of a republic, there was no-one with the authority or presence to run things and parliament were in a shambles- so in true British style, we all had another referendum and brought back the King to wild rejoicing.
On a positive note, they turned the situation into something better eventually, with checks on both sides, and the turmoil led to our eventual greatness, the invention of Australia and New Zealand, King Charles Spaniels, etc, etc
And through all of that, the Monarchy realised that it needed to change too. Our EU leaders haven't worked that out yet.
