Debate the option for MPs to refuse to allow article 50 to be invoked
1 Demand parliament's primacy in the matter.
2 Emphasize advisory nature of the vote and debate the option of refusing to allow article 50 to be invoked because of the unprecedented instability that could result.
3 Make individual statements that they will not vote for article 50 to be invoked
We live in a representative democracy where parliament is pre-eminent.
The standard of the campaigns of this ill-judged exercise in direct democracy was nowhere near high enough for the majority of the public to know what they were voting on. A key democratic pre-requisite was therefore not fulfilled.
In light of the huge business and investor uncertainty we are seeing point 3 above would help to reassure that Britain's place in the single market is far less likely to be threatened.
