Just remembered the referendum was advisory.....

we have had a look into it for a couple of years...terrible idea

article 50 revoked

sorted
Sort of but...
This challenge was not upheld. The reasoning being:

In a binding referendum the result would be subject to the rules under the Representation of the People Act, which, due to the illegality of the Leave Campagin and the ongoing criminal prosecutions, would have made it void.

But as it is an advisory referendum, the law doesn't apply. Judge also noted that as a result of the manifesto pledge triggered by the GE, it effectively changed the status.

PM made the decision on the basis that the referendum was lawful and had the legal authority to do so by the 2015 Act, but...

'on reasonableness, having regards to what she knows now, it is unreasonable for PM to continue on the basis that the referendum was lawful and expressed the will of the people. That's why we don't need to show right to void result. Sufficient doubt as to legtimacy of referendum'
 
Neil for PM. :)

Everything wrong with this whole referendum. An ill-informed bozo then quoted verbatim as though what he's said was true. Incidentally, the maddening thing is that the salary paid to MEPs is practically identical to that paid to MPs in the UK parliament.
