Parliament voted to give this specific decision to the electorate. Parliament subsequently voted to enact the result of the referendum.
So the result referendum is no longer “advisory”
If parliament vote the deal down, which they can do, it doesn’t change the law, and we will still leave in March.
Parliament voting no to the deal is not a vote to remain.
There would have to be a Parliamentary vote on whether to stay in or out. Considering Parliament have already voted to leave ( the result of which I don’t recall being conditional on what type of deal, if any, we ended up with) it would be the greatest betrayal ever seen in modern Western politics.
