For the UK Government to act on the EU referendum result is unconstitutional.
The process of the EU Referendum directly bypassed the sovereignty of Parliament and is therefore fundamentally unconstitutional.
It follows that for the UK Government to now act on the EU referendum result would bypass due constitutional process.
Sovereignty in the United Kingdom rests with Parliament.
The UK Government recently invoked a referendum in relation to the UK's continued membership of the European Union.
A majority voted to leave the European Union.
Act 50 of the Treaty on European Union states :
(1.) Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements.
In holding a referendum, the UK government has not met this constitutional requirement to withdraw.
