Remainers, of which I must confess to being, are no less passionate about the continued membership of the EU than Brexiteers are about leaving it. Especially those under the age of 15, who are incensed at the whole right-wing coup d'etat that is Brexit. This generation is furious, in a manner that I have never seen in the UK before. I think that because they are not seen on TV that the author of this piece has perhaps underestimated their role - after all, demographics now mean that if the referendum were held today, remain would win, purely due to the replacement of deceased voters by their grandchildren on the electoral roll...

Furthermore, the Leave campaign was funded by criminal means by those that supported it, which is in the view of most Remainers, a good reason to declare the vote void in any case. In fact, there is a legal case to that effect rumbling on, and others to come. To claim that we must accept the result of an illegally funded campaign that despite that illegality was only able to achieve a tiny majority flies in the face of democratic accountability. After all, if it's OK to buy the referendum, why not the government? That might be OK in the USA, but it isn't in Europe...

So the idea that "passionate resentment" will continue only if Brexit is scuppered, is totally false. If Brexit actually happens, the means by which it will have been achieved, from May and Corbyn's obsessions with Parliamentary process to the illegal funding of the leave campaign, will leave resentments just as great, and far more justifiable, in the minds of those who support remaining in the EU. And they are far more dangerous than the Brexiteers. Why? Because they are younger, more numerous and better educated than the Brexiteers. And they will carry that anger for longer...
