How is it binding if it isn't enforced by law? The AV vote for example was legally binding. When you link to 'lawyers for britain' I assumed you were referencing them for legal advice and not their personal opinions on politics. They're experts in law after all.

Look at this way ,if the predictions and views of the right experts (the one's who are impartial according to you)are correct why hasn't Parliament overturned the vote for the good of the nation that's their job isn't it ?

Because there would be a political cost, not a legal one. Also the Government policy isn't to have a vote anyway but they could if they wanted.

The answer is simply because no one knows for certain what can or should be done in this instance

No, there are people who know. You can legally bind the government but Parliament cannot be bound entirely, it ultimately can repeal the laws it makes.
