Re: Brexit
The Guardian are reporting that triggering Aricle 50 is an executive function, not a Parliamentary one, so therefore the Prime Minister can on behalf of the Government (the institution, not the party) suspend Article 50.
It then follows that if the European Court of Justice advises the Court of Session that a Government is within it’s legislative competence to unilaterally withdraw Article 50 it wouldn’t require Parliamentary approval at all.
She’d be toast, but arguably she already is, and any future Government of any party would have to start from scratch triggering Article 50.
