That was not my point, but how they voted today does not even reflect "the will of the people" on a pro rata basis.
They just rolled over and took an unlubricated fisting.

Having a referendum in the first place was a bad idea but having it and then just ignoring the result is taking the piss
Not ignoring does not mean making potentially irreversible constitutional changes based on am extremely flawed vox pop straw poll, predicated on fantasies and outright lies.
It means understanding what it is about EU membership that ~50% of the voting population has a problem with, and seeking options to remedy that.
That is listening to the will of the people, not making broad inferences that meet your own agenda for personal and party-political gain.

The why didn't the MPs vote against Brexit because the general public voted the wrong way is a bit patronising.
By any measure, either by outright votes or, even more so, by constituency, the out votes outnumbered the remain.
There aren't millions of Brexit voters telling MPs they've changed their mind, please keep us in.
