Pathetic.

Oh, OK. That’s fine then................
It’s not an unreasonable position to allow the choice and assume a reasonable outcome.

Similarly it’s not unreasonable to invoke A50 assuming a competent government would guide the situation.

However, it’s also not unreasonable for Parliamentarians to vote as they please. They stand on manifestos that aren’t binding. Their careers live or die based on judgement. Would the public support remain? A key question nobody seems too keen to ask

When or how doesn’t become irrelevant once Article 50 is invoked. It’s within the control of Parliament to unbind itself, as I’ve always said.
