I can only, once more, repeat that the referendum was advisory and was known to be advisory by anyone who had read the act. I recommend that anyone who is interested reads it. Anyone who has not read it cannot know the contents. If any MP had not read it, that borders on criminally negligent. In my opinion.

Whether the result can now be made binding without the approval of parliament is yet to be seen. My main point is that the referendum, at the time it was taken, was advisory and I hope this is the last time I need to repeat myself.
