Theresa May is unlikely to concede to any demand to change the terms of parliament’s vote on the final Brexit deal despite facing a possible Conservative revolt over the issue.
A government source told the Guardian that calls for British MPs to be given a vote on the deal before it goes to the European parliament, and to be handed a say if no agreement is hammered out, were not practical.
The prime minister was keen to accommodate Tory demands but suggested that this move would “hamstring” the government in negotiations with the EU27, the source said.

There was only one vote that should count and that was the referendum all the others should take that into account whether the people all of whom had a vote in the referendum agree or not.
Maybe, but “should” won’t get you anywhere now.
All the referendum said was ‘We advise the government that we should leave the EU’. It didn’t set the terms for our exit.
