It was so odd when they did that. It was passed so easily - with relatively little dissent from what I remember. It seemed a fairly seismic statement of intent to me.
As I recall the Tories were never going to vote against it because it was official government policy and the Labour Party was preoccupied by its ongoing mission to turn itself into a People's Front of Judea tribute act and lacked the courage to suggest that it was a stupid idea to invoke Article 50 without having made any preparations for leaving the EU, and so Corbyn decided to put a 3 line whip in favour of the most disastrously ill-considered piece of legislation this country has seen in centuries.
