The coverage I heard on the BBC and NPR in the States about Brexit and UK public sentiment was a complete inversion of reality. I'm reluctant to believe anyone telling me what the UK wants.
Nobody really knows what public sentiment is in the UK, because nobody is asking. They're all just telling the people what they 'want'.
The sample sizes for any polls are tiny, and the areas/people that are sampled are not comprehensive.
It's fairly likely that the people (or a majority of) want the Tories out, as all sides are suggesting that and it's about the only consensus we see.
Brexit was such a mess of misinformation and rushed voting, on something that the majority of people had no idea 'what' they were really voting for, that it should never have been taken as binding - and it probably wouldn't have been if the remain vote won.
At this point, it's unclear if the UK will start to even recover in the next 5 years, or just keep getting worse.
