No I agree I dont believe parliament should be illegally over thrown this is in the interest of democracy though in which I believe is being ignored, somewhat paradoxical In this instance.
But why only 'in this instance'?
Countless times parliament has voted in measures that go totally against what the ruling party's election manifesto promised...
But that is the nature of our archaic voting system - the majority is always ruled by the minority!

I do believe this unique referendum should be taken seriously it's the core of how each and every MP gained their seat and will have serious repercussions here and in the future.
It's not unique because there have been previous referendums...
And indeed whatever happens will have serious repercussions - but nothing as serious as what is essentially an attempted coup!
However as someone else has pointed out on here, the representatives that were voted in
after the referendum are the ones making the decisions.
And given our particular 'democratic' system, it is by default with the consent of the electorate!
This will just add more fuel to the fire of the majority that are being ignored here. That I'm afraid is unquestionably stupid to ignore.
37% of the electorate is not a majority, but roughly mirrors the average vote that a ruling party gets...
However, every few years the electorate is allowed to change it's mind...
Unless of course you believe that to be undemocratic?
