The government must explain the decision to leave the European Union

Petition Details

The EU referendum was set up as an advisory vote. That fact is well established and inarguable: it was the basis of the Supreme Court judgment.
However somewhere between setting it up and holding the vote it became a decision.
Parliament must identify the mechanism by which that came about.

Additional Information

The UK is in the position that it is in because of the decision made by the referendum decision.
There is nothing in the official record to show how the advisory referendum set out by parliament became a decision: it appears to have happened through ministerial decree.
If this is correct then that decree has overwritten the settled will of parliament, in which case it is essential to record how that happened for future reference.
Or if there is some other explanation, then that must be set out.
