And what was offered to the people? £350 million a week for the NHS, a unicorn in every driveway, and a lot of other complete and utter lies.

no, a referendum is what i meant

The politicians leading the country said to its people they could vote on a highly significant matter, and then it could be taken away from them

If not appealed and reversed, will this need to go through the House of Lords also?

I think it will depend on the form that the debate/vote takes.

I don't know if the government could just put forward a motion to the effect of 'This House believes that article 50 should be triggered' and that will do the trick. If they need to pass legislation then I suppose they would need to involve the Lords.

prosaver

what was the point off a referendum... I wonder if the pounds going to go up? hahahaha.

This is massive! Enormous!

Brexiteers are reeling. This is a body blow!

UKIPERS faces are turning from their usual perennial red to a deep purple. They are exploding!

The government lied I'm afraid. They weren't in a position (subject to appeal) to act on the result of the referendum without a parliamentary vote.

Depending on how the probable appeal goes of course.

The government have lost anyway.

Next step is the European Court of Justice if the government wins at the Supreme Court, and I can't see that happening :cool::D

A great decision by the High Court, Leavers wanted Parliamentary Sovereignty, and now they've got it

Thanks for keeping the figures coming. In this phoney post Brexit world the good news just keeps on coming.
I hope you will continue to post and hopefully they will continue to be good numbers,
We all need, on both sides of the argument to keep up with key market numbers.

Thanks!

This puts the House of Commons in an awkward position, and possibly the Lords in an even more awkward position.

If the government loses appeal they will no doubt ask parliament, who will then have to decide, implement the decision of the referendum or ignore it. I would think all of the MP's who vote to ignore the result who represent a constituency that vote leave will be out.

If the Lords block it, I would imagine there would be a groundswell of support for MP's who promote the removal of the Lords as it currently exists.

Whichever way it goes now the MP's and Peers either go with or against the majority of the country. Both options determining the fate of many political careers, parties and institutions in the eyes of the people.

Good News. It gives the Brexit department more time to get its ducks in a row with the WTO.
