Parliament voted for article 50, by an overwhelming majority because it had a direct mandate from the electorate to do so.
It does not have such a mandate to undo Article 50, it would the greatest betrayal of democracy this country has ever seen.
The only way parliament could revoke Article 50 would be after another referendum.
If the vote doesn’t go through a second referendum is looking like an inevitability.
