MPs should have a free vote on whether to act on the recent referendum result.
Only 37% of the electorate voted to leave the EU. That is not sufficiently high to start an irrevocable process that affects us all.
Unlike an election, where a vote can be changed at the next opportunity, triggering the Article 50 process will result in the UK leaving the EU with no opportunity in the foreseeable future for joining again. The government has introduced a bill requiring trade union ballots on strike action to have the support of at least 40% of the electorate: any referendum should have the same requirement.
