Comments by "Hungarian Paragon" (@HungarianParagon) on "Britain's opposition Labour Party leader set to clarify Brexit stance" video.
This is what a representative democracy looks like. 48% of British citizen and voters wishes to remain within the EU, that demands representation. What you're interested in is the 'tyranny of the majority', where an indecisive 52% of voters gets 100% of the cake. That is not democracy.

Let me clarify a few points for you. 1. The Labour party does not seek to prevent Britain from leaving the EU. 2. And even if it did; the referendum was *advisory*, ie: not legally binding. For parliament to decide to remain within the EU would be completely within democratic norms. 3. The UK's future relationship with the EU was, as you pointed out, not decided by the yes/no vote on leaving. Corbyn is laying out Labour's vision for that relationship, and if 'the people' vote them into government they will implement that vision. All according to democratic norms.

The UK abides by EU law until such obligations are made void by departure. I'm not sure if you're issuing low-key threats to legislators, I'd advice you wouldn't. Either way. Your original accusation that 'this isn't democracy' is wrong, and I hope you can see why.
