MPs to delay invoking Article 50 until there has been a Parliamentary vote re EU
This is on the basis that: 1.The result of a referendum vote is advisory, not mandatory 2.Parliamentary Supremacy means that parliament alone has ‘the right to make or unmake any law' 3.A decision based on a referendum result alone would wrongly confer on the electorate a direct legislative power.
We beseech you our MPs to use your Parliamentary vote to represent us and our actual interests at home and in the world, and not merely to ratify a marginal referendum result. We ask that you consider that there is no precedent for such significant change based on such a result and refer you to the Scottish referendum of 1979 in which 51.6% of a 64% turnout voted for the Scotland Act 1978 to create a devolved assembly, this Act was repealed on the basis that the margin was too narrow.
