Re: Whether you voted leave or remain...
The definitive point is when we have a negotiated position on what the terms of our leaving the EU would be. At that point there a Parliamentary vote should be considered essential, or we really will have shown democracy the door.
One of the issues in the court case was whether or not Article 50 is or is not unilaterally revocable/reversible. That unilateral aspect is essential as it would be the only aspect leaving the UK in any sort of control over its own destiny/progress through the negotiations.
As I understand it, the High Court did not rule on this - and the feeling among the legal commentators seems to be that such a decision would need to go all the way to the EU Court of Justice. It is felt that that might be unpalatable for the executive.
If it really is irreversible then the maximum scrutiny/discussion before firing the starter pistol seems only sensible.
