The government should be working on Brexit, supported by MPs of areas who voted to leave.
MPs of areas that voted remain should be either working against Brexit, or working to have concessions made as part of the Brexit agreement to represent the wishes of their constituency.
As much as it may annoy you across the pond, the MPs representing their specific constituency is a feature not a bug.

Let’s give hypothetical example then if push comes to shove. Lets say an MPs constituency pushes hard for an MP to do something that is illegal on a ‘centralized federal level’, whatever they call it over there, but it’s good for the constituency. Who wins this struggle? The central crown or the constituency? By viewing this example with pressures, you see who really serves who and what has to happen.
