You misunderstand me. I'm saying that Parliament should do what they think is best regardless of the referendum results. I don't have a strong opinion about Brexit but I have a high opinion of British democracy and I don't want it messed up by referendums on everything the way California's has been.
MPs have a huge advantage in that they have staff and experts willing to answer their questions, that makes a big difference. Direct democracy could work if, for every decision we rounded up everybody and forced them to sit through a day of debate on the issue but not with the way they're currently conducted.
