"The error in the Defence is that 'the decision' which leads to the prerogative powers being exercised is the non-binding vote. It is not in the people's power to do so, unless parliament gives the referendum this power (which it didn't)."

Anon 1.47 today - Can you (or any expert here) tell us precisely how the Referendum Act could have been drafted so as to make the decision on 23rd June any more "binding" than it already is? In short, how parliament could have bound itself in advance to implement the people's will? This isn't a rhetorical question. I would be genuinely interested to hear some answers.
