Democracy and peoples views of what is and what is not democratic depends on their own perspective at the time, so we have some people who state that we had a referendum and that no matter what the people's decision must be upheld, we have others who believe that when they voted in the referendum that they and in fact all voters were misled because they were told that the NHS would get an extra £350,000,000 a week, that the uk could negotiate a deal that gave us all of the benefits of being in the EU but without the costs and restrictions, and then of course we have a PM who whilst she insists that democracy would be damaged unless we leave the EU, obviously didn't feel that democracy would be damaged when she called a general election after only 18 months into a supposedly fixed 5 year parliament, because she mistakenly thought that it would strengthen her government !
As I said everyone has their own opinion based on their own perspective and for what it is worth my opinion is that the people should decide on wether they want (1) the deal on the table (2) no deal but leave anyway or (3) stay in the EU because at least this time people would be voting on the facts and not on the lies ! And that would be true and real democracy.
