I think you’ve missed the small issue that the Conservative ‘Eurosceptics’ don’t have an electoral mandate,among the Conservative vote,to Leave.Our MP being just one example of that being a Conservative Eurosceptic in a safe Con seat that’s a 60/40 remain constituency. 
That’s in addition to the fact that ‘his’ ideas of Leave were more along the lines of the race to the bottom free markets ideas of Hannan not the protectionist economics of Hoey and Boyd.
Trust me we’re going no where and if article 50 does get invoked you can bet it will just swap EU for EEA.
Here’s a thought: What it looks like you’re suggesting is that EVERY politician should be a turncoat to an opinion that is NOT theirs - if their own constituents are of the “opposite mind”…
The concept that a 60/40 remain constituency could have a eurosceptic MP seems barmy to me.
How can there be any safe seats at all - if the voters think one thing, but their preferred candidate thinks the exact opposite?
If Corbyn, for example - had backed Brexit from the very beginning, and been an effective opposition to Cameron’s late government - we’d be facing a general election by this point, with either Corbyn winning, or UKIP mopping up all the exodus of voters that didn’t quite make it across the floor…
Labour missed a chance to be on the winning side - and with it, missed their chance to actually GET that snap general election. Theresa May has no need to face one until 2020 now. And why should she?
That gives her four years to “get it done” rather than the two we’re told it will take, or the six some fearmongers reckon it will take. I reckon she’s got a good chance of pulling it off - IF she keeps all her promises, which - let’s face it - we don’t really expect much of our politicians - do we?
The fact that MP’s have to reflect the majority view of their electorates is the definition of democracy.
The ‘safe seat’ in our case at least being a ‘safe’ ‘Conservative’ seat IE the ‘Party’ not the MP.Which as I’ve said is why the Conservative ‘Eurosceptics’ have just suddenly woke up to the fact that they are governed by their respective Party whips let alone when the whip is also in line with their Party constituency electorate vote.IE if an MP is going to rebel against the Party line they’ll need the backing of their electorate to stand a chance of pulling it off.That’s the flaw in the Eurosceptic Conservative ‘and’ UKIP plan.It’s also why we’re now facing a remain Tory agenda to fit a remain Tory electorate. 
As for Corbyn,as Rjan has made clear,like the more Tory orientated Blairites,the Socialist side of the Labour Party was never going to go for Brexit.Because,like the Conservatives,they are ideologically opposed to the idea of the Nation State being ideologically Federalist.Also as May made clear in her coded encouragement in that regard to the remain Conservative vote today.
Meanwhile no surprise article 50 wasn’t invoked today and probably won’t be ever other than possibly in the event of the decision being taken of swapping EU for EEA.Having said that hopefully I’m wrong and we’ll get article 50 by the end of the week and the ruling out of EEA membership.
Which now just leaves the Nationalist Labour vote to do to Corbyn and Labour what the Tory Europhile vote has done to Farage,Davis,Fox and Gove and the Eurosceptic Cons and UKIP. 
The difficult bit then being turning that into seats in a parliamentary electoral system that isn’t based on PR.
Which is why,as I said,Farage having gone for a Confederal Europe,based on supremacy of the MEP’s over the Commissioners,with the national right of opt out,substitution and VETO,would be a far better option than the cluster zb we’re now lumbered with within the Europhile Federalist National parliament.If only UKIP had been a true Nationalist Party in that regard and helped Le Pen instead of turning their backs on her.
