Well why have MPs at all? Because they do have access to expertise, they are accountable, and their decisions are scrutinised by the upper house, as much as I dislike the fact that it is non-elected.

It is important to remember that 62.5% of people did not vote for Brexit, and that with natural wastage, within a very short period of time, remainers will outnumber leavers.
