They did.

No.

A third of the electorate also exercised their democratic rights and
decided not to vote therefore leaving the decision making to all those
who could be bothered.

Why people who could vote and chose not to is purely a matter of
guesswork and there are many people who wanted to vote and could not.

For all those complaining about the outcome of the referendum I wonder
how many actually put into power a MP who voted for the referendum bill
in Parliament. If they had voted for someone else the bill wouldn't have
been passed, the referendum wouldn't have taken place and we wouldn't be
discussing the outcome.

Indeed. However most MPs vote as they are told to by their party
leadership - hardly democratic.
