So in other words, the people STILL don't really have their say do they.

Yes they do. People vote MPs into Parliament to represent their wishes. Which is exactly what is happening here. It is a much more rational form of democracy than having just over 50% of the population vote for something and then giving the government - who far LESS than 50% of people voted for - full control over how that process then proceeds.

People voted to leave the EU. Britain will leave the EU. The vote had absolutely nothing to do with the actual process, single market membership, etc. and so it is ONLY right for Parliament - elected by ALL voters - to have a say in those matters... not the Tory government acting on their own whim with only 37% of the population's support
