What outcome should be respected though? Nobody voted for Chequers. Which, obviously, isn't acceptable to the EU either in its current form.
A lot of people voted for £350m a week extra for the NHS, continued unfettered access to EU markets (read: things don't get scarcer or more expensive, and my job is safe) while restricting EU immigration, and absolutely no change to the status of Northern Ireland and its border with the Republic. Exactly none of that will come to pass.
This whole fiasco is happening because David Cameron took a reckless gamble with people's lives to shut up some backbenchers in his party. That shit makes me dislike politicians.

The proper response would have been to recognize the slim majority's interest in leaving, negotiate a Brexit deal before committing to leaving-no-matter-what, and then put that detailed deal to the voters in a legally binding referendum so they could actually know what they're voting for.
