Should have been in the hands of the British people months before the referendum on Brexit. Now is too late unless it triggers a 2nd referendum. This has always been a case of the wrong way to go about direct democracy, which depends on even greater transparency that representative democracy. Because that didn't happen a terrible mess came out of it. France is trying to help if anybody is listening.

Geesh!

There should had been a 2nd referendum before this but now even more so.

It wasn't so much that the Russians were involved in this all on their own but now even more by the Parliament.

If only the Queen could do or say something about it.

Did the people really want to vote to exit the EU or was this more Russian interference? Can the people vote again to stay in?

Sorry...and thanks!

Last I saw, the House of Lords came and took Speaker Bercow away. Half the members went with him, the other half were chanting "shame on you!"

Nothing but the clock for more than 10 minutes.
