Stupid High Court Ruling
 

Yeah, just ignore the will of the people again.

The government wanted to use something called the royal prerogative to trigger Article 50 to start the process of leaving the EU. Royal prerogative is kinda complicated, but it basically serves as the raison d'etre for many of the government's executive actions. It is acknowledged that parliament is supreme in the UK, so the current government is trying an end run around that long-established fact, and will dilute the power of parliament if it gets its way.

Also, the entry into the EU was done via acts of parliament, so to use the royal prerogative to just nullify those laws at a stroke would set a terrible, possibly disastrous precedent. By curtailing the use of the prerogative the court struck a blow for democracy against a power grab by the government. So it's actually a great day for democracy in the UK.

One more thing: the referendum was non-binding, so yes, it's legitimate to not be bound by it.

You can't be that naive, of course they will ignore the so called "people's will".

:thumbsup

Stupid was giving the stupid people the choice of running the country in the first place.

Thank the intelligence for making the MP ruling :thumbsup

The will of the people ?

Naive.

Seriously, Gary?

Get on the floor smack dat

Citizens are owned by their nations. Try not paying taxes. Try not going to war to die if they tell you to go. You do not own your life - GROW UP


Fight the government and at least try to be free or die trying bitch!

If Westminster doesn't vote OUT. The British will punish them at the ballot box. It could even see a very large UKIP vote.

The problem with the EU over the last 23 years of EU is, more Brits have got poorer than have become richer. The EU promotes the movement of businesses from Western Europe to Eastern Europe. Allows unemployed, low skilled and low paid workers to move from the less prosperous countries to the richer ones.

And this entire project is ongoing. If the UK stays in the EU. Most Brits will become a poorer.
