Re: Article 50

Did anyone else notice this with the media?

No, it was very visible in the media I read. Right from the moment the referendum was announced there was discussion about whether leaving the EU was even possible, because until the Lisbon treaty of 2007 there ws no formal mechanism. Article 50 was often mentioned as the clause that made the referendum possible.

Just two examples:
