The MP for Tottenham David
Lammy added: "Our sovereign Parliament needs to now vote on whether we
should exit the EU.
"The referendum was an
advisory, non-binding referendum.
"The Leave campaign's
platform has already unravelled and some people wish they hadn't voted to
leave.
Senior Labour MP David
Lammy has urged Parliament to "stop this madness" and vote to
overturn the result of the EU referendum.
He said the Commons should
"bring this nightmare to an end through a vote in Parliament".
"Parliament now needs
to decide whether we should go forward with Brexit, and there should be a vote
in Parliament next week.
"Let us not destroy
our economy on the basis of lies and the hubris of Boris Johnson."
However, he faced criticism
on Twitter for insisting the poll was non-binding, being branded
"anti-democratic" and "elitist".
UKIP leader Nigel Farage
said his comments would push more Labour voters to his party.
Mr Farage said in a twitter
post: Labour MP David Lammy demands MPs ignore the referendum result. I'm sure
that will drive more Labour voters to UKIP."
