    Can someone in the UK explain why May hasn't used the lifeline the court gave her to prevent a catastrophic Brexit? I don't understand.

        As an American living in the UK I too am baffled. Default assumption is MPs, though 2/3 against Brexit wld. vote for it now...

        At some point pressure from the banks will kick in, won't it? I just don't understand.

        Right, they're afraid of an abstract 'will of the people' from an advisory ref.. Core of issue is no 'real' constitution imho.

        We know little about May's real motivations, her habit as minister was to work through executive powers rather than parliament.

        didn't she take the job precisely because she's committed to brexiting?

        Internal party politics. The Tory party's survival matters more than the lives of ordinary brits (or indeed the unity of the UK)

        She's terrified of losing seats or a no-confidence vote if the Brexiters join the opposition to force her out

        May's hands look like they're on the wheel, but it's her back-benchers really driving the Brexit clown car? "Cliff! Over there!"

        court ruling was not in her favour. Her legitimacy with electorate is based on willingness to follow through referendum result
