Iain Duncan Smith, and I have to be honest, I really don't like this guy for how he handled the benefit system for disabled persons when he was Secretary of State of DWP, but I did agree totally with what he said this morning on the news that the issue here with the ruling is, Sovereignty . Parliament voted overwhelmingly, 6 to 1 to hand the Sovereignty back to the people to decide via a referendum, that decision was made and the result was a Leave regardless if it was advisory, the Sovereignty existed with the people.
This business of Parliament discussing how we leave is wrong. Leave means leave, no back room deals, no silly, we'll partly leave. The people voted to leave, no buts, so this has no merit going to Parliament at all.

The act of Parliament to grant a referendum is a completely separate issue to the act of parliament needed to remove us from the EU .Only Parliament can make or repeal laws and the sole purpose of A50 is to start a process that will ultimately repeal the act of Parliament keeping us in the EU .The government does not have the authority to repeal laws and the judges are not "dictating the governments business" ,the government are subject to the laws just as much as everyone else
