Britain can't leave the EU without MPs voting for it, top lawyers say

[super jumbe]

The country may just have voted 52% in favour of leaving the EU, but Brexit won?t become a reality unless voted for by members of Parliament, according to Geoffrey Robertson QC.

The lawyer, who set up Doughty Street Chambers, says the referendum was ?purely advisory?, and his sentiments have been echoed by Charles Flint QC in a letter to the Times.

?Under our constitution, speaking as a constitutional lawyer, sovereignty rests in what we call the Queen in parliament,? Robertson told The Independent.

?It?s the right of MPs alone to make or break laws, and the peers to block them. So there?s no force whatsoever in the referendum result. It?s entirely for MPs to decide.?

The much spoken about Article 50, the mechanism by which an EU member can leave the union, says a state can only leave the EU ?in accordance with its own constitutional requirements?.

?Our most fundamental constitutional requirement is that the decision must be taken by parliament. It will require a bill,? said Robertson.

So it's true what i've thought all along that there is no such thing as democracy. The people decided and no person titled or not can change that unless they want to show people that democracy doesn't exist. The judicial system another that needs to be brought into line with the times and be transparent and accountable.

We may have to vote more then 4 times to make sence....
We do not have to do this. We can stop this madness through a vote in Parliament.

Well the 1973, or was that 1972, act has to be repealed. That can only be done by parliament and the unelected House of Lords. (Who said the eu is the only unelected bunch who rule us?) however it would appear that Boris and the leave bunch are now backtracking on all those so called promises now anyway. There is now a minimum of a 3 month delay, the money won't be given to the NHS, the immigration won't be stopped, also looks like we won't be able to pick and choose those things that Boris promised. Perhaps next we'll have to pay ?40 billion a year to trade with the eu........ Mp's you can tell when they're lying, their mouths move
