Comment: What pompous rubbish. 

The referendum was merely about the decision to invoke article 50 - it was not about giving a blank cheque to cabinet to negotiate the particular conditions of Brexit. 

 In accordance with British constitutional convention, specifically that of parliamentary sovereignty, ratification of the Maastricht Treaty in the UK was not subject to approval by referendum.

The conditions of entry into the EU were thus voted and sanctioned by Parliament. The conditions of exit must be similarly sanctioned.
