it's a fascinating contstitutional point
also quite liked the SNP's line today that there is a mandate for leaving the EU but not the single market, given the Tory manifesto (on which May is relying for her general mandate) supported remaining the single market.
Ultimately I can't see Parliament overturning the referendum result regadless of MP's own individual views on Brexit, but what a pickle.
