Constitution of UK – Parliament and Constitution
Since there isn’t a written constitution, there was a debate about the government’s powers without Parliament’s approval. Constitutional experts suggested that before the Prime Minister triggered “Article 50” of the “Treaty of Lisbon” to exit the European Union, Parliament should be consulted and vote on it. They disagreed with the idea of bypassing Parliament in the final stages of negotiations. In 2016, ordinary citizens went to the High Court to stop the activation of “Article 50” without Parliament’s consent. The High Court decided on November 3rd, and the Supreme Court confirmed it on January 24th. It was ruled that Parliament must vote before activating “Article 50,” and so it did.
