It's the government which has the power, i.e. the prime minister and the ministers he's appointed. Incidentally, he appointed only those who would support him for a Brexit on the 31st October, come what may.

Probably. I don't think there's anything explicit - but then our constitution is not enshrined in a charter (or whatever it's called) like the US. If there is, the last time it was invoked would have been in World War 2.

You're probably right - it is a bit far-fetched, but it's an outcome I could live with! ;-)

I understand that the BBC may open an office in Belgium or the Netherlands which would give them a right to broadcast in Europe - so it says!

MvdV> The aticle was probably written by a non native English speaker.
Not necessarily. I've seen that mistake from more native English speakers than non-native. And from many that should know better!
