EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

No, that's not true.

From today's Indy:

“In the absence of a withdrawal agreement the UK Parliament cannot unilaterally prevent a no deal in strict legal terms,” says Dr Jack Simson Caird, a senior research fellow in Parliaments at the Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law.

“The Government would find it very difficult to pursue a no deal outcome without the support of the House of Commons. The Commons doesn’t have to approve a no deal but the Government has said in order for it to work, there would have to be a further legislation which would have to be approved by the Commons.

“If the Government decided as a response to the Commons rejecting the Brexit deal it was going to pursue a no deal, the Commons could attempt to block no deal legislation or seek to amend it to require the Government to change its position,” Dr Caird said.

They just said the same thing on PM too.

It seems to be a common misconception that no deal will just magically happen if the government doesn't do anything. I suspect mainly because politicians and the media have explained it very badly.
