It happens all the time - Nearly all the Tory election Manifesto was dumped immediately after the election like many others in the past. Promises forgotten and dumped. Can't see any protests or civil unrest, nothing.
All that happens is that people get more cynical about politicians and what they say.

I suppose millions can march like they did against the Iraq War, that did a lot of good.

Regarding civil unrest, I don't think anyone takes that seriously especially looking at the demographics of the average leave voter, even if they really care that much and can be bothered I don't fancy their chances much.

In my experience in the real world for most, (unlike those who post about it obsessively on internet forums) leave or remain the overriding feeling about Brexit is now that of confusion, boredom and resignation rather than any revolutionary fervor.
