They had a Parliamentary vote, they voted already, 6 to 1 to take the decision to the people, they cannot then give that decision and turn round and say, 'Well, actually, we don't agree with the decision and we are going to ignore it and have our own Parliamentary vote anyway.' It is unacceptable, and it will create a very serious constitutional crisis. Not only that but democracy will be killed off in this country and we will officially be living in a dictatorship. I don't think for one minute you seriously are advocating that.
It is hoped that the judges in the Supreme Court, when this goes to appeal will have more common sense and uphold the Governments case for appeal. I think however, they will need to improve upon their wording, to take their case forward.
I am pleased though that the PM is remaining firm that her plans to invoke Article 50 will not be derailed and rightfully so.
