I’ve never said it isn’t, just that in regards to the referendum it ceded it’s sovereignty to the the electorate and then enshrined the electorate’s decision in law.
Just so we are clear.......do you agree with that statement?

. I refer you to the Reform Act 1832, Reform Act 1867, Representation of the People Act 1884 and the Representation of the People Act 1918 (as amended), note this list is not exhaustive. At no point in the history of England, or the United Kingdom, has power been ceded from the people to Parliament. Our involvement has always been defined by Parliament. Again, it is sovereign, people are not.

Are you on medication?
You say that we....the people....have never ceded our Authority to Parliament ( which is what we do every five years )
By definition we “allow” Parliament to govern and represent us.

I think Oliver Cromwell sorted that argument out.
I’m not sure what country you think you live in.
