But they also didn't put in they would NOT have to vote on it if you want to be trollin' ;)
So I don't know how such things are weighed if there's no precedent. Either way, well done to all involved :/

Oh, it's a perfectly cogent argument:
Parliament missed its chance not once, no, but several times.
If we gave it a vote now, we'd be rubbing Parliament's noses in our munificence.
Can't allow that to happen, it would only undermine Parliament.

Giving Parliament a vote on Article 50 would undermine Parliament because Parliament didn't include a mention that a vote on Article 50 would be required when it passed the Referendum Act. (Not a fair summary, but hey.)
