So the Brexiters forgot Britain is a Parliamentary Democracy..

Cameron took an irresponsible risk with the referendum. Might possibly go down as the worst PM in History for this alone..

1. yes, exiting is immensely complex and there is plenty for that the parlement needs to vote on

on to advance it (or even curtailing if it seems to be folly).

This will be a delicate operation with many different paths.

People think they voted a series of measures were enacted automatically... I don't think so.

2. Tony Blair promised the British people a referendum. At least Cameron let the people have their say

3. Problem is..

Referendums, and "popular votes" clash with the tenets of parliamentary representative democracies. Parliamentary Sovereignty is sacrosanct. To assume that a referendum could be self-executing without parliamentary say was a risk Cameron never should have taken - he just assumed Remain would have edged the Brexit vote. Parliamentarians now find themselves in a really awkward position - depending on how folks in their constituencies voted.

4. yes, for example, concentration of Brexit votes outside cities means

People in London for example would not want their parliamentarian to approve any measures
that go in that direction.

Depending on how population is distributed, and what parties represent the various districts, it is possible
that Brexiters don't have the vote in parliement to get things through.

5. yup

As you said in your other post - things are going to get complex ( and potentially very ugly - even uglier than they are now) Farage is already throwing hissy fits.
