If Parliament really has power over EU directives, then they could alter their application in parts even if they can't overturn the whole thing. IF the UK Parliament could do that, then almost certainly other EU countries would do that. They can't and don't, therefore we can't.

A referendum should be seen as giving a "directed verdict" to Parliament, just as it's normal use where a Judge instructs a jury, but it is the jury that still has to formally issue the verdict.
