		</div><p>Hundreds of barristers have advised British Prime Minister David Cameron to tread carefully before taking steps to withdraw the UK from the European Union.</p>
<p>More than 1,000 have signed a letter to Mr Cameron which says the referendum result is &#8220;advisory&#8221; and not legally binding.</p>
<p>They say primary legislation will be needed before Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty &#8211; the route via which members states leave the EU &#8211; can be triggered.</p>
<p>The lawyers say the British Government should organise an independent investigation into the pros and cons of withdrawal before making exit plans.</p>
<p>They say their letter will reach Mr Cameron this week and proposes a way forward which &#8220;reconciles the legal, constitutional and political issues&#8221; triggered by the Brexit vote.</p>
<p>Philip Kolvin QC, who co-ordinated the creation of the letter, said: &#8220;Parliament is sovereign and the guardian of our democracy.</p>
<p>&#8220;MPs are elected to exercise their best judgment on the basis of objective evidence, to safeguard the interests of the country and their constituents for this and future generations.</p>
<p>&#8220;At this time of profound constitutional, political and possibly social and economic crisis, we look to them to fulfil the responsibility placed upon them.&#8221;</p>
<p>One barrister involved, Aidan O&#8217;Neill a constitutional and EU law specialist, said: &#8220;The Brexit referendum has made clear that the UK is not a united nation-state, but a divided state of nations.</p>
<p>&#8220;But it has given no mandate or guidance as to what our nations&#8217; future relationship might be with Europe, and with each other.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added: &#8220;Precipitate or unilateral action by the UK Government to trigger Article 50 will simply further divide us.&#8221;</p>

The remain camp are just sore losers. It s beyond belief that they are still trying to overturn Brexit.
