The bill passes the commons un amended and the Lords will rubber stamp what has already been a rubber stamp. So what was the point of all that? So parliament can feel important? Right oh! lets get A50 triggered then.

For most folk the decision had already been made by parliament when they OKed the referendum. It may not have been legally binding but was understood to be enacted anyway; until someone found a way to try to scupper it; and insisted on the decision already made must be confirmed. But it failed to stop anything. Hardly surprising then that the majority of voters...

The debate can only start once A 50 has been triggered. Failing to trigger it was never a viable option.
There is already serious suggestion that we will have to have a 'transitional period' after the end of the 2 year A 50 leave date. This would be to rewrite our own laws to replace the EU law that presently covers everything from food coloring to operational requirements for Nuclear power stations !
As I have said unless we get a 'deal' from the EU we will not be able to use the existing EU rules as using them needs their permission, no 'deal' and we do not have that permission!
We can't just 'say st**f ' you we are going to use them anyway as they will no longer be legally enforceable.

you keep saying that eddie but it is not EU law, it is EU originating law that are British law having been absorbed into our statute. Thus we use that until we change it as necessary. So for now you can have all the bent bananas and straight cucumber law if it makes you feel better until it is repealed at our leasure, geddit?
Just like justice has to be seen to be done and we have trials that are a foregone conclusion, the same thing applies to our governance.
Parliament is supreme and Parliament has to make changes such as brexit in order for it to be legal.
We have had this system for only 950 years, so I can understand why you have not yet cottoned on to how our country works.

from the very beginning, Corbyn said his party would support invoke, so there was never any real prospect of Parliament rejecting invoking.
The delays caused by trying to deny Parliament and Appealing the Supreme Court were entirely Mrs Mays doing. It was probably done to buy some time, as the brexiteers had no propoer plan in place if, as they did, the British public voted to leave.

In the event it was a pleasant surprise to find most (but not all) of the MPs believed in democracy after all.
