The EU referendum was undertaken in good faith. Parliament must not seek to use a vote or debate to overthrow the result or have 2nd referendum or general election on this issue. The people have spoken.
There have been moves by Parliament to take a vote on EU membership and thereby overthrow the EU referendum result. In addition, are high court cases to seek a judicial review.
