As indeed is the original referendum itself.

 

Article 50 was enacted by an Act of Parliament in 2017 not the referendum in 2016. As such, it can also be revoked by an act of Parliament if it is seen to be too damaging to the UK and not supported by either the public or the majority of MPs.

Article 50 was enacted by parliament after the referendum vote was won by the leave side. If the remain side had won then no enactment would have been necessary.

No enactment was necessary at all, given that neither side could attract even 40% of the electorate.

So why stay if so few want to? Remaining is just as large a decision as leaving.

Statements by those in power are just those statements.

 

Nowhere in the legislation did it say anywhere, that the result would be anything other than advisory.

" And remember : they cannot undo the decision we take.

If we vote out, that's it.

It is irreversible.

We will leave Europe - for good."

 

I rest my case.

Interesting opinion piece.

 

So who's really at fault for Italy's woes, the EU or the Italian Government?

 

 

It's interesting how we are often told in here that the eu has minimal powers and only enforces nice things like workers rights. Yet here we have a situation where the recently elected Italian governments new budget is subject to forcible eu amendment. Strange.

But he isn’t in charge anymore. We can change policy. He could have changed policy if he had wanted to and Parliament agreed. You’re clinging onto a sound bite from two years from yesterday’s man. It’s bonkers.
