More details
We now know that many lies were spread by the Leave campaign that influenced the referendum outcome. Regardless, the referendum result is advisory and should not carry legal authority without parliamentary review.
We call on Parliament, in accordance with the UK constitution, to debate and vote on the decision to trigger Article 50.
