You had essentially a non-binding government sanctioned opinion poll of the electorate that the current leadership agreed to follow but which made no legal requirement to be followed. Any individual member of parliament only has their constituents to follow, regardless of what leadership agreed to.
Conservative Party leaders wrote a check they couldn't cash. Future leadership and other members of parliament are respecting democracy so long as they are respecting the wishes of their constituents. It's a representative democracy not a direct democracy.
The popular vote in 2016 was as legally binding as the referendum was. The masses didn't get their wishes in either and Democracy goes on.
