The Remainers in Parliament are an even bigger disgrace and they are bringing politics into disrepute.
An even bigger bigger disgrace is Corbyn. His party Manifesto pledged to honour the Referendum result; his MPs voted for A50 and the Withdrawal Act. But now, their only motive is to get into power and will not bind with the Conservatives to get this through. Corbyn makes impossible demands (Customs Union & Single Market - we might as well be remaining) which is what makes him so dishonest.

I’d have no real issue with “honouring the referendum result” had it actually been done in a coherent and controlled manner on our terms.
In practice deep down leavers know that they won by a narrow margin, based on lies and that in all probability they’d lose a second referendum. That’s why it was the race to trigger A50 as quickly as possible, and why some favour leaving on 29th March at all costs despite our lack of preparedness.
Honouring the result simply means to leave. It doesn’t stipulate how and it doesn’t stipulate when. Our delusional politicians have spent two years arguing with the EU to little or no avail, so the “solution” is to leave on 29th March despite never really believing it’d come to that until about two months ago.
