However it’s a virtual certainty the politicians are trying to weasel out of this without getting the blame for doing so.

More people than ever before are mentioning “no Brexit at all” and a 2nd referendum. It’s all about softening up the public for when one/other/both happens to minimise a backlash.

Ironically you continue with your flawed understanding of what constitutes democracy and even further flawed understanding of our constitution.

Parliament is sovereign in this country. The people, or rather Her Majesty’s loyal subjects, are not. A key principle within this is that no Parliament can bind a future Parliament, and as such no Government can bind a future Government. Regardless of any advisory referendum carried out on any random date.

Your whole reason for wanting to leave is not understanding this point. Which is fine I suppose, because clearly you don’t understand the economics of the situation enough for it to be on that basis.
