BREXIT cock-up: Article 50 MUST Be Put Before Parliament, Supreme Court Rules
2017-01-24
[Breitbart] The government must consult Parliament in order to invoke Article 50 and take Britain out of the European Union, the Supreme Court has ruled.
Yes, I know PM Wilson is lying. It's just what they do.
That means Parliament must take a vote on whether to invoke Article 50, which triggers the process to take Britain out of the EU, before Prime Minister Theresa May, can do so.

May had originally set a timetable to invoke Article 50 in March, but it remains to be seen whether that deadline will now be moved.
Skipping down to the big lie.
"This is your decision. The Government will implement what you decide." The wording suggested that the people’s decision was a direct mandate to the government.

#4  Actually this is not too bad.
MPs know their jobs are toast if they vote against the will of the people.

#3  The little people will have a vote in the next election, and now there are alternatives to Labour, the Conservatives, and the Liberal Democrats as a junior party -- and turning their back on Brexit might well be enough to bring Nigel Farage back in the role of Donald Trump or, at worst, kingmaker.. If the oligarchy wants to retain power, it needs to be seen making Brexit happen, it seems to me.

#2  Can't let the little people have a vote. They would lose power.
