As far as I can see the issues have been addressed clearly and concisely. The facts have been presented and because they do not concur with certain preconceptions some members are beginning to cry 'foul' even where no foul has been committed. I will ignore this diversionary tactic and I urge others to see it for what it is. I will follow BWMs lead and exit from the thread with a final summary

1. The fact remains that the referendum was never legally binding.
2. The judges have ruled, quite correctly, that parliamentary procedure must be followed.
3. Many promises were made by politicians that have now been broken. The only surprise there is that some people seem shocked by this.

Whether parliament will override the result of the referendum is yet to be seen but there is no conspiracy by 'The elite' to keep us in the EU. Simply laws that have been enshrined for hundreds of years that cannot and should not be broken.
