The referendum didn’t have to happen, but they voted for it.

The result was to leave. “Parliament” then voted to enact the result and trigger article 50.

They could have voted against Triggering article 50 if they thought then that leaving the EU was not in the “best interests of their constituency” but they didn’t.

So it doesn’t really make sense for Parliament to be so anti-Brexit now? They had two legitimate opportunities to stop it.

try that with an EU commissioner
so seem to forget there been a general election since the referendum and the people voted for mostly remain MP's as vast majority of MP's are remain
