The Main Business of the House of Commons today will be on the EU Lisbon Treaty I quote the critically important motion herewith:
3 | EUROPEAN UNION (AMENDMENT) BILL: Third Reading (12th allotted day). (Queen’s Consent to be signified.) | [Up to six hours] | |
|
|
| That this House declines to give a Third Reading to the European Union (Amendment) Bill because it does not protect the Parliament of the United Kingdom itself or its enactments from judicial rulings of the European Court of Justice and of the Courts of the United Kingdom. | |
Proceedings on Third Reading shall, so far as not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion six hours after commencement (Order of 28th January). |

Mr. Cole, parliamentary sovereignty still lies with the UK Parliament, as far as I understand.
The Westminster Parliament has the power to leave the European Union.
Only as long as the UK is a member of the European Union it has the obligations of a member to follow the rules.
To change common rules by unilateral 'second opinions' is not a legally viable option.
The choices are, in my humble opinion, quite clear.
