Equates to "slave" unless they are free to act contradictory to what the electorate demands.

By invoking article 50, the UK informed the EU of their intention to leave. The word of importance is intention.
Intention is a mental state that represents a commitment to carrying out an action or actions in the future. Intention involves mental activities such as planning and forethought.
Forethought is what is lacking since 2016, you still have no plan, or as boris formulates his 'no plan', do or die.

You are not obliged to agree, but you are obliged to follow. So, if your parliament doesn't come to ruling otherwise, you leave.
There is no law obliging you to remain silent, on the contrary, UK law says you may use any lawful means to vent your disagreement. Even in the face of adversity, like on this forum, you are protected by law to say you disagree, and why.

He didn't lie because Article 50 was triggered.

David Cameron....

The word Leave means leave .....

For those who do not understand the meaning of the word leave here is the dictionary definition...
Do you really believe that the words of a Prime Minister override what is enshrined in law? It seems in one way you really didn’t know what you were voting for

What don’t you understand about the bill that underpins the legality of the referendum clearly stating it was advisory only

In a perverse twist of fate if it had been binding the result would have been annulled by the courts because of illegal overspending

The triggering of Article 50 doesn’t change the fact that David Cameron lied

If the referendum was binding it wouldn’t have required a parliamentary vote to trigger Article 50

It seems the troll factory records need updating

Whether is was deliberate or down to ignorance we will most likely never know

There is no point in re running the 2016 referendum.

Cameron wanted us to Remain and wasted £9million of taxpayers money trying to influence the result!

Dictionary definition of Servant. Noun.

A person who performs duties for others

or

A person employed in the service of a Government.

Rather a different meaning to your flamboyant word "slave"
