Not in its present form or only in the short term. If people think democracy is no longer working or does not do what it says on the tin all the institutions that argued for Remain will be regarded as suspect, corrupt, amoral and untrustworthy with diminished status and destroyed reputation.
Political instability can be expected and a mass gravitation to extremes which could lead to greater authoritarianism than exists presently with people opting for a 'strong man' who 'gets things done', a Putin or Trump.
Instead of choosing smaller government which would be the logical reaction to oppressive statism past conditioning will sadly lead them perversely to upping the poison and electing for more state control over their lives rather than less; a depressing and regrettable but all too familiar syndrome.
