This statistic shows results from an online survey conducted in Great Britain in 2016 on whether the ruling of the High Court regarding the European Union (EU) referendum was legitimate. Slightly more respondents thought that the court's ruling was right rather than wrong.
Do you think it was legitimate for the High Court to rule on the government's legal powers regarding the European Union referendum?*
*Respondents were asked:
Last week the High Court ruled that the government did not have the legal power to leave the European Union without the permission of Parliament, and that Parliament needed to have a vote before the formal process of leaving the EU can begin. Whether or not you agree with them, do you think it was or was not legitimate for the High Court to rule on the government's legal powers in this way?
