The manifesto this govt was elected on said there'd be a referendum,
and that the govt would implement the people's decision.


Governments routinely ignore manifesto pledges.

You asked for Parliamentary sovereignty. Hopefully you'll now get it good
and hard.


Sovereignty belongs to the people. We transfer sovereignty to parliament
every 5 years by way of an election.
In this particular instance parliament transferred that sovereignty back
to the people and the people have spoken. I prefer this system to being
ruled by judges.


you aren't being ruled by judges. The judges said that even the Prime
Minister has to follw the law.
