Shame on every single one of them. Spineless and undemocratic. Voters will not forget this.https://twitter.com/PolhomeEditor/status/1082712883581079552 …

Our British constitution doesn't work like that (you really should know this). Parlt is sovereign end of - over the govt and people (who elect it). It can delegate its sovereignty to the people via a binding referendum. But in this case it chose not to & made it 'advisory'.

The people elect Parliament to make decisions on their behalf. Thats how the system works. MPs are representatives not delegates (i.e. they dont have to vote in line with their constituents). If you dont like it elect a govt that will change it.

Nobody cares about a legally non-binding leaflet incorrectly defining a legally non-binding referendum. They care about Parliamentary sovereignty & rule of law, which is how it is & why the English Civil War was fought. Don't like it? Campaign for a binding one.pic.twitter.com/EfnWWfgYQW

The whole bedrock of the UK system is that Parliament is sovereign. It's literally the first sentence in any explainer. We aren't a republic so sovereignty doesn't arise from the "people" and especially not your interpretation of what the "will of the people" means
