In both cases, a majority of voters (whether it’s a General Election or a Referendum) have indicated they want something to happen - either to Leave the EU or in support of a Party Manifesto.

It’s wrong because Parliament has already given the Democratic power to the people, us, they decided back in 2015, to give the people back the sovereign democratic decision to leave the EU and now they wanted that power back to stop the process because they cannot believe leave won.
Those rebel MPs are talking complete bollocks when they say they care about giving Parliament the sovereign power to decide, they did not give a toss about that for 40 years, while Brussels was deciding our laws.

I disagree. Because a £9 Million leaflet that the government sent to every household in Britain, said they will act on what people decide, and the people decided they wanted to leave.
