It's not like they haven't tried to execute the will of the people. But they have the nonnegotiable set of demands. Brexit, with a deal, but no NI border. That just isn't going to fly. So there should be a vote on where to go from here.

The original referendum was flawed, mostly because no one thought it would pass. They should have negotiated the deal first, and then put it up for a vote. Alternately, the referendum could have clearly stated that there would be a national vote on whatever was negotiated.
