Is democracy about pandering to a minority who happen to be very opinionated on the matter? I can not think of a single vote that has democratically rejected multiculturalism or even immigration. At the last election people mostly voted for parties that promise to control numbers, and are broadly in favour of immigration.
Ultimately people had many of reasons for voting for Brexit, which may well have included bashing the elites. But in a democracy we do not decide policy on the basis of perception of a referendum but by normal parliamentary democracy.
