”I'm not questioning whether the word advisory was used in legislation but I do remember that £9 million leaflet that said quite clearly that the Government would implement the result, not be 'guided by it. They promised to implement it.”

Why do you Brexiteers find it so difficult to understand the principle of Sovereignty of Parliament - the very principle you claimed to be fighting for when you voted Leave?

An Act of Parliament can only be amended or revoked by Parliament - that is the basic founding principle of Parliamentary Sovereignty - and it is not within the power of the PM, or even the government, to amend or revoke an Act.

The EU Referendum Bill 2015 was advisory only and the government was not required to act according to the result. That is undeniable fact! Set out in the supporting documentation of the Bill, and pretty much in those words.

No matter what that bloody leaflet said, or however much it cost to produce, the Act was clear about the advisory nature of the Referendum, and the government did not have the power to over-rule the terms of the Bill.

I did have a link to the part of the documentation of the Bill containing the reference to it being ‘Advisory only’, but I’ve been unable to find it - sorry.
