So any time you feel that Parliament's makeup doesn't allow for the reflections of your own views you're disenfranchised, eh?

No, my single vote makes very little difference, but when neither of the major parties represent the view of the majority of the voting public then the public are being disenfranchised.


do you think that I'm disenfranchised by the fact that the major parties both voted for Article 50, a move I vehemently disagreed with,

No.
The issuing of Article 50 was a direct consequence of the referendum to leave the EU. You had already had your opportunity to vote on that. An opportunity offered to the whole electorate of the UK, and one in which the majority of those voting chose to end our membership of the EU.
