Really? You want to redefine sovereignty too now?

When parliament has specifically asked the question of the people, yes.
We normally elect MPs to take make most decisions on our behalf, but
when those MPs ask us in a referendum, that they have stated that they
will abide by, then the people's decision should be final.

But at the risk of being boring.......

When so much of the information that The People were given - and on
which they based their decision - was wrong (either because it was
speculative over-pessimism or over-optimism, or deliberate lies intended
to deceive), who in their right mind would insist on ploughing ahead and
implementing that decision without referring the matter back to The
People for reconsideration?
