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.

erm ,this isn't about stopping Brexit ,it's about who has the authority to start the process and the manner it will take and that should always lay with Parliament ....unless you want a dictatorship
