Anon 11/10/16 23.21 - This is exactly what has annoyed me about this whole thing, and people need to stop presenting it as fact - Brexit has NOT been 'blocked'. Just because Parliament has been told that they need to 'give the go-ahead' to Article 50 for it to be done correctly, it doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't going to.

Laura Bailhache 18/11/16 18.27 - The briefing paper, as kindly quoted below, specifically states that the referendum was 'pre-legislative or consultative, which enables the electorate to voice an opinion which then influences the Government in its policy decisions', and goes on to explicitly explain that the 'UK does not have constitutional provisions which would require the results of a referendum to be implemented.' That sounds like more than a technicality to me.
