Article 50 won't be triggered this year under Gove

[CretinWatcher]

...have a clear strategy in advance. ..

You claim to be from academia.
Did you do some post-modernist course in some poly, which told you that everything was relative?
You're about to get a shock when you find out about the realities of economic power.

If of course Article 50 is ever invoked...

Someone that hides behind sockies (hides, in a figurative sense) and alludes to their "credentials" every few posts is not someone that's at ease with the world.

Cheer up, sadguru.

I somehow, deep down, always knew he/it was a sockie. Nobody that stupid would be granted planning permission to borrow a brain cell, let alone own one. Still, it was fun playing with the idiot, but now the village wants him back. F**k knows why, they'll regret it in the morning, but I guess day release means exactly what it says on the tin. I'd want to be a few dozen miles away when his nappy needs changing, that's for sure...

Now, I say, it will never be triggered!:

The referendum can be ignored as it was decided by senile pensioners and chavs, cant it?
So no art 50 and happy days.

You might both be right, admittedly from the Guardian but:

"Before Brexit can be triggered, parliament must repeal the 1972 European Communities Act by which it voted to take us into the European Union – and MPs have every right, and indeed a duty if they think it best for Britain, to vote to stay."

The EC 1972 Act is simply the mechanism by which new EU legislation is transposed into UK law. The Act becomes redundant at the end of the Article 50 process, regardless of its formal status. A separate Act governs the status of law already enacted through a mechanism that subsequently becomes redundant (i.e. there is no automatic repeal of existing law).

There are varying academic opinions on the triggering process for Article 50 (for example, contrast this with this), but I'd prefer to listen to Lord Lisvane, previously Clerk of the House. There's probably no one else alive that is better positioned to offer a view, and his considered view is that Article 50 is a matter of prerogative power, regardless of whether it is politically expedient to bypass Parliament. Bottom line, the new PM can trigger Article 50 using prerogative power alone.

He could, but after that there will be vote of on confidence in Govt, will he survive it?
