Brexit: What if Parliament cancels Brexit?

Brexit": What if Parliament cancels Brexit?

Parliament approved the public consultation - Referendum on European Union Membership. Parliament and political parties stated that they would all accept the outcome of the public consultation. When the outcome of the public consultation was known, Parliament voted to implement the constitutional processes of what we know as Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon in terms of exiting the European Union. Up to this point all went well. Soon afterwards, several politicians and public figures started to plot against the will of the British People publicly stated on the Referendum on the European Union Membership.

Some openly state that they want Britain to remain as an European Union member. Others use all kind of excuses and justifications with the same purpose. They talk about delays. They talk about motions that will prevent Britain from actually leaving the European Union.

What does this mean for trust in Democracy in the United Kingdom? If Parliament asks the Electorate and the Electorate expresses its choice and Parliament refuses to accept the will of the Electorate, what does this say about the health of Democracy in Britain?
