"Arguably" is what this thread is about. In Parliament, a 1 vote majority for a trivial law has the same weight as one of major significance.

The MPs are our representatives. Therefore, when we vote in a referendum, we are acting in a peer capacity - they voted in the Referendum as well.

There needs to be consistency of margin treatment - unless you are a Remainer struggling for a valid argument.
