SWWood wrote:That's correct, but yesterday's decision does nothing to undermine that fact. The judges are simply pointing out what needs to be done to make sure this process is carried out in accordance with the law. Who in their right minds would argue against that? And yet we see papers like the Mail misrepresenting the courts judgement in order to whip up more hysteria. It's very worrying.
Brexit will happen, nothing has changed in that respect, but if the proper legal processes are not followed things will get very messy. Nobody wants that.
This is from February
Prime Minister David Cameron yesterday set out the details of the UK-EU deal in the House of Commons. He argued that the referendum would be “a straight democratic decision… Having a second renegotiation followed by a second referendum is not on the ballot paper.” He went on to say that “If the British people vote to leave, there is only one way to bring that about, namely to trigger article 50 of the treaties and begin the process of exit, and the British people would rightly expect that to start straight away.”
This has nothing to do with media misrepresentation, our Prime Minister assured us we would begin the process immediately, it hasn't happened.
