Democracy isn't about derailing a decision made by a majority because you, as the minority, don't accept it. That was my point. There's a lot of self entitlement in that notion. It's about having a say/vote. We all got one. A decision was made as a result of a majority outcome.
He'll be OK either way and doesn't want to give Boris a way out of blowing his leg off

No, youre wrong, S&P 500 was down 20% the day after Lehman Brothers, last friday after the referendum, S&P 500 was down 1%

Protest is a part of democracy. Nobody is passing judgement on whether a vote should be overturned, but the act of expressing opposition to the way a decision went is absolutely democracy in action.
Angus Robertson: no intention at all on allowing Scotland to be taken out of the EU.
He's gone on to criticise the Leave party for not having a plan. Finally someone said it! BTW they all laughed at the suggestion that the Brexit plan should've come from No. 10.
This is from an SNP MP.

and how does he plan for brexit with the EU / EC while at the same time trying to negotiate a better deal to stay. It's simply not possible and would in no way have been entertained by any of the EU member states.
Cameron cut his cloth accordingly, he was spearheading the remain campaign and thus his plans were around ensuring the best UK position possible within the EU moving forward.
This isn't like drawing up a plan for my holiday where if the flight is cancelled I have a plan B to go to bognor regis.

That could either be good or bad... It could help us to remain in, or it could mean that we end up out, and without scotland...
He is really going it heh.

No, Cameron you ****!
What he is saying is very honourable. The house are the elected representatives of the people, they have no moral mandate to refuse the peoples decision.

So what? The tories are in power regardless of the result so they should have a plan.
That passive aggressive! So fierce!

Why are you leaving out the fact that these countries still have access to the single market and free movement of people. Would you be happy with that?

They are all saying it's the 'will of the people' etc. It's basically washing their hands of the decision and, rightfully, placing responsibility with the electorate.

Personally, I won't be doing so. I linked it as comment on what is going on.
If you want to, google "advice on writing to your MP". Letters are usually more effective than e-mails; keep it short and to the point; don't use a form letter; and keep it polite and respectful.
I understand that, but you can't then say people can't protest that decision?
It also remains utterly bonkers that something so life changing for so many required only a simple majority.
Nothing else is like that. You can't change the US constitution with 51% of the vote.
