Cheers mate, try to tell that to Sunak and co. They don't care. Will of the people. Etc.
As Brexit should have taught you: no, no we are not.
Not smart and easily manipulated you say? We Americans have entered the chat.
I hate the “will of the people” bollocks. They keep saying that about stopping the boats but I really don’t think that their solution of sending them to Rwanda is really the “will of the people”.
I think the point is to make sure everyone else aware that Brexit failed, in case any other country starts thinking about copying it
Inevitably, in the coming years brits will be working towards "reducing red tape" to "improve trade with EU" which basically means re-joining the EU without actually having to say that's what you're doing.
So yeah, I think things are being done about it, and this sort of expression of public sentiment can only enhance that process.
