Hold a general election in 2016 in response to the referendum result.
The referendum result is close and only advisory. It is democratically unacceptable that a decision on when/if to invoke Article 50 is taken by an unelected Prime Minister. MPs are therefore obliged to call an emergency election, under section 2 of the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011.
'Brexit' is clearly not in the best interests of the UK or the EU and to invoke Article 50 would be an act of sabotage.
If a party or coalition were to campaign and win on a 'remain' ticket then this would be a valid democratic mandate for the UK remaining in the EU.
