Hardly - you won. Now what? (It is the move of the leavers, next).
We're not whinging - we can accept that 52% of the country voted to leave. You now need to map out the road out ahead - and that doesn't mean that we are or EU bureaucrats all need to go along with whatever you suggest, nor does parliament when they get a vote on it.
Because they get a say due to the fact that they were elected - not giving someone who is a sitting member of parliament a say and not accepting the vote in parliament would be, as you said:

Every Smurf (MP) gets a vote (even us little smurfettes!). I may not be a member of Parliament but then again, May is not Queen. Unelected Peers may well be an affront to Democracy (you could probably even go as far as to boot the speaker) but even May would struggle to abolish the House of Commons.
This Democracy thing goes both ways - you want to sell it to the British public that you can leave any way you want to? Go for it! But you will have to make the case, May isn't the dictating Queen that she wishes to be.
