I don't think that is the case at all. The issue is that Parliament is being refused the chance of debating and tabling amendments to the Government's proposal. It's not right in a democracy, that a Government should have a free reign to come up with what they want, for such a huge issue affecting the country. It needs to go through the proper level of scrutiny which Parliament provides.
After all, let us not forget that the ballot paper only had one question - "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?". A majority have spoken, and clearly we have to leave the European Union, but the terms of doing so need that debate.
The Tories agree we need to leave, but want to do things behind closed doors. Labour agree we need to leave, but want it to go through proper scrutiny of Parliament. The SNP will not support us leaving, because Scotland voted by majority to remain, and it was what was sold to them in their independence referendum.
Interesting times ahead!

Early Election is of course mooted, but I'd be very surprised if it happens. I know Labour internally aren't currently preparing for one, or at least not up North!
(05 Nov 2016, 9:30 am)MrFozz wrote So dudes, what what are the chances of:-
1. Mrs Mays Appeal to the Supreme Court being successful
2. Early Election
3. Article 50 being triggered by March 31 2017
1. I don't think it will be.
2. Slim to no chance.
3. Even less chance!
