Now why don't you peddle your twisted vitriol elsewhere.
I have merely stated fact. That you think facts to be “twisted vitriol” I personally think the truth to be important and the truth is that the referendum was only advisory
Although my posts were about exposing the misconceptions and untruths regarding the status of the referendum Article 50 is interesting in how it will eventually pan out
The European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017 empowered the Prime Minister to invoke Article 50. The Act is indeedenshrined in law.
However, the Courts have determined that Article 50 can be unilaterally revoked.
Whether the Act would that allows the PM to invoke the notice of withdrawal would also allow her to revoke it is unclear but, given the movement in parliament to prevent leaving without a deal and if as seems very likely May loses the vote on her deal it is unclear what parliament might do. Thereryhave been calls for a further referendum , extending the Article 50 timeframe which may require the consent of al EU nations or even revoking Article 50.
So we may be leaving as you have stated but the turmoil in parliament does not make this a given
As for me going somewhere else, why should I pander to your irrational fear of fact
