If they are ignoring the results it must be because the British Electoral College decided the referendum and not a popular vote
We laugh at this but do people realize that in Britain the Prime Minister is elected by which ever party has the greatest number of members of Parliament and appointed by the queen and not the people. It is a pseudo electoral college.
And members of parliament are elected for at most five years or until a vote of no confidence is reached in parliament. Imagine that system in Washington.

2/3 of the Parliament were on the record as "Remain"....so you have this weird disconnect between the people's vote and the representatives will to enforce it.
