Former Attorney General Dominic Grieve, in a TV interview (see The Independent HERE) says he thinks as a matter of convention parliament must have a vote on the triggering of article 50 because it is such a big decision. I think this is right even if the legal case is arguable. The first challenge to the government's legal advice that a parliamentary vote is not needed is to have a preliminary hearing in the High Court tomorrow.
If a vote is required and takes place later this year when more real information is available about the economy then MPs will have to take a view about how good or bad Brexit will be for their constituents.
