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.
It was non-binding? I was told it was presented as the final word and there would be no going back.
Sidenote: Do this board NOT have a member from the UK on it? Just thinking I've never heard from one on this subject one way or the other.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
