The argument is very simple. The referendum was a democratic vote. Should the government of the day thwart it, where does that leave democracy? If the government does not wish to be bound by the clearly stated wishes of the majority, then why should we be bound by the government. The government of the day are there by consent only, no other mechanism can maintain their validity.
