Seems odd that the same thing can be repeatedly put to parliament for a vote and called democratic, but offering people a vote on the deal or other options is seen as undemocratic.
The difference is obvious.

The referendum asked a basic question; the government stated that parliament would enact the outcome.

There is no reason to revisit the fundamental outcome of the referendum just because parliament has yet to make good on its end of the process.
