The 2017 election was the only chance the UK's had to express what sort of UK-EU relationship they want Parliament to secure.

54% voted for parties that ruled out No-Deal and promised Single Market access.

So if you want No-Deal, fine, but stop pretending it's about democracy.
The 2017 General Election shows that losing access to the Single Market and Customs Union and/or leaving without a deal is AGAINST the will of the people.

"84% voted for Parties who promised to deliver Brexit"
WRONG!
Labour's manifesto said it " accepts the referendum result" but "will put the national interest first" & would PRIORITISE Single Market & Customs Union access.
So, leaving the EU was CONDITIONAL on economic status quo!
Not to mention, giving parliament a "meaningful role throughout the negotiations" means we can't just accept any old deal. So again, Labour did not commit to Brexit do-or-die.
Yes, based on the evidence above, there is a democratic mandate to secure a deal that has Single Market & Customs Union access.
But:
A) If a country votes for a certain relationship with another, that doesn't mean the negotiations will deliver it.
B) Boris Johnson won't allow it.
So based on all of the above Parliament has a democratic duty to oppose Boris Johnson's NO-Deal plans, and when you add in the information below, Parliament has to put the Brexit deal to the people in a new referendum.
