You are quite sold on this "will of the British people" thing aren't you?

Permit me a question or two (beyond the obvious How do you impartialy measure it?):

-Would you follow the "will of the British people" even if they disagreed with you?
-Would you follow the "will of the British people" even if you knew that what they wanted was impractical, flawed or dangerous?

Personaly I'm deeply suspicious of anyone purporting to follow the "will of the people", it's just populism. Firstly, It sounds to me like ridding a white rhino, secondly I'm concerned about the nut-job who would get on it -and exactly what scruples they do have.

Given the drivel in the media, can you actually trust the people it informs? I'm cautious at best.
