A back to basics attitude and treat this issue as the truly wholly national issue it is.

Instead what the PM and the leading figures in govt have done is fuel the divisions among the people who voted on either side, also however caused major divisions with all political parties and MPs, even many of their own in the Conservative party too.

The UK and parliament now seem to be heading to even more divided than they were on the surface before the referendum and that has to be down to the way the govt has itself chosen to exclude too many that should have been involved all through the process.
A big mess and all really sad too at such a great opportunity missed to heal divisions rather than open them up more.

I don't think it's fair to say the government have fueled division. They haven't really done anything yet apart from try to build a plan of some kind so they can take us forward. I don't view the process so far as anything other than preparation for negotiation. I don't think Parliament needs to micro manage everything the government in power does and if this vote stands after the appeal I think it sets a rather silly precedent.
