I mean if the people voted for it but the government can't do it...can they vote again? And what if they vote FOR it again?
Personally I thought it would be a mess anyway.
I'm know expert on British law, but I'm assuming they could. The criticisms of the option say it would be undemocratic, that they voted for it already. The counter to that argument is that the people were misled with inaccurate information.
The issue is, though, that they've already triggered the action with the EU, I believe. That can't just be reversed. They could have to reapply for membership to the EU.
