Your perception of democracy just happen to be just that: a perception. If Parliament decide, as is their right, that the Brexit options available represent a clear & present danger to the prosperity of the country then it is right and proper that they seek a mandate from the people.

The legitimacy of Parliament derives from Democracy. It might be claimed that a future Labour government represents a clear & present danger and therefore according to you, Parliament could legitimately prevent that.
