This is the thing I find truly shocking; that the majority of UK citizens don’t understand how British democracy works or, at least, is supposed to work!
The UK is governed by a Parliamentary democracy and NOT a direct populous democracy. In short Parliament is sovereign and not “the people.” So, there is no disruption of the democratic process, the referendum is advisory and NOT binding.
That said, politicians ought to feel obliged to implement the result anyway. The problem comes when they are now trying to carry out a policy that they feel is not in the national interest.
Woof!
So a 2nd vote or a people’s vote is “ not binding “. If they dont follow up on the biggest vote in the history of modern Britain then the public will have no faith or trust . So now they have delayed the vote in the house and not arranged a date to take it . What a shambles it is now, our politicians should be ashamed of themselves in letting the public down.
