Stop calling Brexit a "Democratic decision"

Petition Details

The United Kingdom is a parliamentary democracy which has operated for centuries under well established rules.
The electorate voted in the expectation those rules would be followed.
There is no reasonable or rational basis to assume that they trusted the government's promise to ignore those rules.

Additional Information

The principles of representation were set out definitively by Edmund Burke in his famous speech to the electors of Bristol: representatives have a clear duty to give their best, most unbiased judgement, and to not betray democracy by sacrificing it to public opinion.
Brexit is the antithesis of these principles.
In a functional democracy, that result would be taken as a vote of no confidence.
Far from being a democratic decision Brexit has enabled the end of democracy in this once great nation.
