Full question wording

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?
