May I therefore suggest you stop using every excuse in the book to pretend that because Leave won, you can conveniently just move the goalposts. democracy is when you accept you lost. YOU LOST! Get over it.
You still fail to understand that the we have parliamentary democracy in this country not direct democracy and the referendum was only advisory parliament is acting legitimately. If it had been binding on Parliament then we would not be in this situation. But it wasn’t
As for a general election those who do not form part of the government sit in opposition. They do not have to accept the policies of the government and invariably vote against them
That you call those who, after considering the result of the referendum legitimately decide that it is not good for the country as traitors just demonstrates your ignorance of our political system and that you did not understand the terms of the referendum you voted in
At present there is a deadlock which a general election may not solve but a binding confirmatory referendum would. Why would you be scared of a confirmatory referendum unless you are afraid that now more is known about the pros and cons of leaving the consensus may have changed
