I did consider bringing up the issue of Royal Assent, when I was hearing about the "restoration of our democracy", but what would have been the point?

I understand that invocation of Article 50 requires Parliamentary approval. In theory, it could be voted down by MPs - though whether that would happen in practical terms, remains to be seen. Somehow, I suspect not, given none of them probably have the grapes to ignore the Referendum.
