We call on Parliament to debate and vote on the decision to trigger Article 50.
"Parliamentary sovereignty is a principle of the UK constitution. It makes Parliament the supreme legal authority in the UK, which can create or end any law. [...] Parliamentary sovereignty is the most important part of the UK constitution." Parliament should debate and vote on signing Article 50.
We now know that many lies were spread by the Leave campaign that influenced the referendum outcome. Regardless, the referendum result is advisory and should not carry legal authority without parliamentary review.
We call on Parliament, in accordance with the UK constitution, to debate and vote on the decision to trigger Article 50.
