I felt exactly the same way about Brexit; it was clear that if we voted Remain that Nigel Farage would still be there - alongside Maxwell's Demon - to shove us towards the door at the next opportune moment.

Seems like this is one of the hardest problems in modern politics - populists only have to win once, due to us having a complex system of preferential arrangements and one-way door decisions.

Oh cry me a river with that cynical view of democracy.

Just because you aren't engaged in democracy doesn't mean everyone wants to be a lame duck.
