Sorry, why are you surprised? Have the EU and their ilk EVER respected a democratic mandate when it runs contrary to their precious project? They will do everything they can to prevent, obstruct and weaken this country and our decision. Looking forward to the European Court of Justice telling the government it is not allowed to trigger Article 50. Didn't say I was surprised. You could of course have nobody post this news on HOL. I also won't be surprised of either vote, for or against Brexit. Will so many MPs risk being accused of being subversive and undermining democracy. Interesting but not surprising that 70% of constituencies voted leave. Therefore, 70% of MPs will be under pressure to vote leave, obviously. MPs in Scotland and major cities will be free to vote remain no doubt. The client of the lawyers in this case voted leave but just wants it robe democratically through parliament.

Govt can't trigger Article 50 without majority vote in favour in parliament. Well a lot of the argument over leaving the EU was around UK Parliamentary Sovereignty. As such, it would be utterly contradictory to then not have Article 50 ratified by parliamentary consent.

Looking forward to the European Court of Justice telling the government it is not allowed to trigger Article 50. Any democratic mandate would surely require an act of Parliament? There is more to this than just not being in the EU, and the referendum does not determine policy - just that the public voted to leave. This is really why it should have triggered a general election, rather than Conservative Party coup. There is a massive task to leave Europe, and to establish the UK outside of the European Trade Agreements etc.

Ok so let's assume Parliament blocks the trigger with a vote. If the Brexiteers are so convinced of their position then all it will take is a few mass demonstrations and a peoples' protest-come-minor revolution over a few months a la The Poll Tax for Parliament to swiftly reverse their decision. Shouldn't be too hard to find a few million souls to take up verbal arms and placards and commit themselves to the cause if they are so convinced, should it? Even the anti-Iraq war demo managed to get two million.

Unless there is an intermission with tea and scones I can't see it gathering enough momentum. The above is a flippant comment in case any of you weren't aware of my reputation.

Ms May should be made to cough up the costs out of her own pocket not ours.

Apparently if you add up all the Labour, Lib Dem, SNP etc who'll vote remain, they'll need 50 Tory MPs to join them. Don't know the full details or numbers but this will be close.

I suggest that if neither option wins by a 10% margin they decide this by conker fight. Obviously someone could just get lucky with their conker, so they'll each have 16 conkers each which will then be drawn into a group stage. The top 3 teams from each group will go into the next round with a playoff for the two highest pointed teams consisting of paper, scissors, stone. If the final is a draw after 90 minutes they will have a one legged bum kicking contest to decide once and for all, what we as a country MIGHT do at some point.

May has 2 conkers swinging in her pocket stronger than the whole of Westminster. If Ruth Davidson and amber Rudd were leave you'd have a front row ready to bully, gauge and rip the bollox off and gnaw through any trio off Westminster pussies. Make Angela Eagle look like a baby rabbit.

Surely its best not to trigger Article 50? Years of legal battles in UK and EU ahead. Businesses have no idea how to plan for the future nobody can deliver on the unknown. The EU rules and Regs are regarded by the other countries as irritating no more. The housing crisis and our mounting debts are more important IMO.

If we remain then California will be one big step closer whilst everyone can enjoy cheaper holidays to get that one extra night more p1ssed Cheaper shopping to buy the essential crisps and sweets More take aways and take away shops More gambling and gambling shops with betting terminals. If we saw this through the short term inflation and mortgage rate rises we could mend a lot of the country's ills. Export more, more and better jobs. Less welfare, less debt spirals, less reliance on large companies and shareholder greed. But no, we'll go for the short term as we usually do. All could consumer based and going round in circles with the poorest forever poor.
