        I think you would have to ask that question to the Eton/Harrow, Oxbridge educated, pig head loving, chaps who gave the nation the referendum!

              The ones who believed in asking the people rather than brushing them under the carpet?

              The same ones that gave Scotland a vote too?

                And the Scots didn't even take the hint.

                  The unpalatable solution may be to have a new referendum which is not simply advisory.

                  An alternative would be for parliament to agree to trigger Article 50, but place whatever conditions for oversight they see fit. Probably not as clean.
                  It was picked up several times. However, the “ rush “ (for want of a better word) to get the referendum over to stop the Brexit Tory MPs revolt, those concerned were told to shut-up and don’t confuse the matter with facts. I see that as mob rule and burn the witch mentality.
