Hold a vote of no confidence in the administration of the nation.
In the debate on the EU Notification of Withdrawal Bill, the member for Leeds Central observed that if parliament were to tell the truth about the referendum then they would face "A crisis of confidence". It seems that parliament did not want to face that crisis and passed the bill instead.

Background
If the result of the EU referendum had been treated in accordance with the principles of Representation, as set out definitively by Edmund Burke, it would have had to be taken as a vote of no confidence.
Instead, parliament deemed that the trust of the people in their government is such that it overrides mere convention, and therefore took the vote as binding.
The consequences of that speak for themselves.
We want a vote of no confidence, leading to a fundamental change in our political system.
