We have got it. We are however pointing out that in this specific instance, parliament polled the electorate’s wishes, and promised to act on the result. The referendum, uniquely, altered the normal relationship between MPs and voters.
Everything that has happened in the last couple of weeks confirms that parliament is not using its judgment to best implement these wishes, but simply attempting to override them.
