Parliament already voted to give us the referendum, and in the case of a leave vote that means activating article 50. So you could say they already set the process in motion by voting in faboir of a referendum. There were campaigns, debates, everyone had their say. I don't see why the leaving needs to be micro managed. We need to just get on with it. Until they have some talks there isn't really anything to tell parliament so it all just seems pointless. I suppose we have to wait now and see what the supreme Court says.

When they approved in recent years military action, no one wanted them to micro manage every bomb dropped. Perhaps that's when such questions should have been asked. Where was the moral and political outcry then?
