I quite liked this in another forum

Opinion

The rule of law is paramount. The law might be an ass, poorly drafted or some elements may have unduly influenced the ruling. However, it is the law.

The ruling on such an important constitutional matter should be appealed and rightly so. If the decision had gone the other way there would have been an appeal. A second opinion is vital to ensure that the laws currently in force are correctly interpreted and followed.

I would rather have legal issues defined now than midway through or after, negotiations have taken place. To provide stability for the future the law MUST be correctly interpreted and obeyed.

It is important to democracy that Parliament and politicians are independently held to account. Personally I'd like them held to account quite a lot more!

I do not see the need for negotiating positions or detailed outcomes to be voted upon. That is within the mandate of The Govt. IMO the motion should be something along the lines of "Will this House obey the will of the people as expressed in the referendum of ..."

If the vote in The Commons or HOL goes against the results of the referendum then a snap GE would IMO be required to resolve the constitutional problem of Parliament not obeying the decision of the electorate they individually and collectively represent.

Personally I support Brexit but accept that others do not. Once UK leaves the EU there will be plenty of time (presumably following an emergency bill to recognize a number of rules/laws on an interim basis), for new laws to be drafted to return primacy to Parliament and to untangle/remove laws we no longer want or that no longer wholly apply.
