I think, that however Brexit is negotiated, there will be many unhappy people out there, who (rightly or wrongly) will feel let down by democracy, and far fewer people will go out and vote in future elections.
I expect to see Labour and the Conservatives diminish substantially in importance, and other parties, from either side of the existing political spectrum, take their places. This has happened in both France and Italy recently, after all.
I would love to see the emergence of a centrist party, but, if the reasonable Labour politicians sitting it out on the back benches aren't prepared to do anything apart from bide their time, it's not going to happen.
The Tory party will be a spent force. Apart from anything else, no party has managed to do more than 3 terms in power (I think that's the case anyway).
I'm just throwing this out, as I'm interested to know what others think.

what do you think will happen, politically (not economically) post-Brexit?
