Agree with that, the petulant and patronising response I saw from remain voters was frankly embarrassing. My favourite was a friend that wrote she was ashamed to be British, and then immediately complained her 4 week holiday in Italy was now more expensive. Twat! On the flip side, leave voters are also telling people to shut up and forget about what they want forever. Which is censorship by peer pressure to all intents and purposes isn't really any better. I suppose the appropriate response would be a pro-Europe party agitating for re-entry which is where the Libdems seem to have thrown their hat. Gives them a purpose to exist I suppose.

Which although I suspect will be annoying for those on the winning side is how representative democracy is supposed to work.

All that said, there's some good people now feeling very, very unwelcome looking at escape routes out of the U.K. And they're people that will be sorely missed if they do leave. But considering some of more unpleasant the reports I'm seeing, I'm not that surprised.
I think the LibDems are undoubtedly being opportunistic. With around 6-8% of the vote currently, they are just trying to tap in to that 48%.
I would have more time for them if they just sat quiet while the current process was carried forward and went to Conference and discussed internally putting it in their next manifesto rather than shooting from the hip like this.
It undermines the democratic process.
They need to be careful though as the polling shows that 30% of LibDem voters also voted to Leave so they risk alienating current supporters.
