If they're not actively trying to meet the will of the people with a plan of their own, trying to compromise with everyone at the table... they're not effectively representing their constituency. They're defaulting their voice in the compromise. They are not serving their constituents by not trying to actively find the best Brexit deal for their constituents, whether or not those constituents voted with the national majority.
Well no, it's not their job to come up with a plan that their consituencies didn't ask for. It's the job of the government. And those plans were shit, and they were rightly rejected. That's like saying Ds should come up with a plan to build the Wall.
I mean, they shouldn't blindly obstruct any reasonable plan but they should be free to point out when the suggested plan is shitty. And again, the plans offered were shitty enough that enough of the ruling party's members voted against them that they wouldn't pass. So I don't think you can accuse the opposition parties of being uncooperative here. They just weren't given anything reasonable they could vote for.
