The majority of MPs

"The majority of MPs are remainers; most feel required to vote for something to which they are opposed, a situation without precedent in our long constitutional history."

(The Guardian.)

What is the antecedent of the pronoun "most" in the sentence above? Is it "The majority of MPs", "MPs" or "remainers"?
