The UK model for democracy, is, what's called, representative democracy, not direct democracy, which is what these referendum things, sort of, are. As the German history with referendums shows, referendums can be extremely problematic, disruptive and distabilising, which is why modern post-war Germany, banned them. Lord knows, representative democracy, has its own set of problems, but this is also true of referendums.
