Posted on the 08 December 2016 by Markwadsworth @Mark_Wadsworth

From the BBC:
A six-year-old child would understand why the government does not have the power to trigger Brexit, a lawyer has told the Supreme Court. Richard Gordon QC attacked the government's claim it does not have to consult Parliament, suggesting this could "crucify human rights".
The QC for the government countered that a six-year-old child would understand why the government does have the power to trigger Brexit. Gordon Richard QC attacked the claim that the government has to consult Parliament, suggesting this could "strip it of its prerogative powers".
A move to call a six-year child as an expert witness to decide the matter was declined.
