As I said Backwoodsman I like your take on democracy:

"The government has listened to the will of a comparatively small minority of the population and, on that questionable basis, is investigating the means by which the UK might leave the EU."

It was the largest voter turn out that the country has ever seen.

More voted for leaving in 2016 than voted to remain in 1975.

Your comparatively small minority voting to leave was larger than the even smaller comparative minority voting to remain. Live with it.

Fact of the matter is that there will be no negotiations on the UK leaving the EU until AFTER Article 50 has been officially triggered, after which the negotiations will be between the Government of the UK and the EU Commission. The UK Parliament will not even feature.
