It was picked up several times. However, the “ rush “ (for want of a better word) to get the referendum over to stop the Brexit Tory MPs revolt, those concerned were told to shut-up and don’t confuse the matter with facts. I see that as mob rule and burn the witch mentality.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostHow did the advisory nature of the referendum not get picked up in debate (or was it)? What a mess this whole thing is.
The unpalatable solution may be to have a new referendum which is not simply advisory.
An alternative would be for parliament to agree to trigger Article 50, but place whatever conditions for oversight they see fit. Probably not as clean."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
