The Act makes no provision for not leaving the EU; this would require separate primary legislation which cannot be introduced except by Government. (A private member's bill will have serious difficulty finding time).
I read today that some treacherous MPs are planning to have the Finance Bill voted down, thus potentially closing government spending down, unless the government agrees to guarantee that No Deal will not be allowed. Now there's anti-democracy hard at work, thwarting an instruction from the public in the Referendum.
Of course some Remainers will define that treachery as a pure act of democracy and that is what the argument in this thread is all about.

I don't think calling people traitors is helpful, productive or even accurate, if anything if someone believes their country is making a mistake and without thought of personal gain tries to do something about it i think they're actually pretty patriotic rather than treacherous regardless of whether you agree with them or not

Nothing like an informed decision is there and for a hell of a lot of the electorate it was nothing like an informed decision

And what makes you think a second referendum won't be flawed like the first?
It will be the same as before - division and mis information from both camps just like the first....

Imo measures should have been put in place so no vote can ever be run like that again, if it means jailing some of the future shysters, I'm fine with that to.
Btw wasn't it a leaver that made the ww3 'prediction'
