Brexit and the subsequent deal will be one of the biggest events in our modern history and it's consequences, good and/or bad, will be be felt across the country and maybe even for generations to come. It's sheer lunacy to demand that only the 52% that voted for it have input into that. It's also pretty stupid tactically to intentionally attempt to provoke 48% of people who voted Remain.

parliament might have a say but "the whole country" ? i doubt the advice of the people will be sought at every decision ,its down to members of parliament now .
if things run true to form mp's on either side will follow their own agenda despite what 48% v 52% want .
