therein lies the problem, the MPs dont feel they can ignore the referendum since most of them are in seats that voted to leave, even though they would prefer to remain. and i would hazard a guess that dynamic would not change much in a 2nd referendum, a few percent swing nationally would likely be focused in areas or still return majority leave on seat by seat basis.
so, should we accept representative democracy and ask the MPs to vote with their conscience, or vote according to their local electorate?
But it's not that simple is it ? If they vote according to their electorate and the local electorate voted leave, what should they vote for ?

No deal
Norway
Canada
which one did the leave voters in their constituency want ?
