Real politics requires reality grounded people to work together and compromise not mini dictators promising fools dreams.
I think it would decimate Tory and Labour.
If you look at the last election, 42 Tory and 40 Labour out of which around 30 of the Tory were leavers and 18 pf labour.
Then consider that Labour has very high pockets of remain voters in London and a few cities like Manchester, Liverpool...

I reckon that the Tories and Labour would be below 30%.

I fail to see what is populist about wanting to operate as a country on similar terms to the USA, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.....
In fact the majority of the world.
