>Is the population of natives (perhaps citizens/residents would have fewer negative connotations?) really willing to bear costs and risks?

86% of the current population of the UK was born there. The overwhelming majority voted for the current Tory government and as such, for Brexit.

So therefore yes, I believe the natives are likely to bear the costs and risks.

Only 42% voted for Tories, while more than 50% voted for parties endorsing a 2nd referendum. So much for “the overwhelming majority voted for Tories”.
