UK government suffers Brexit court blow
Comments
-
The shock and awe at todays court decision, might just ground people long enough, and allow them to realise the referendum was a pretty meaningless exercise.
It is going to appeal. This should allow time for you to figure out how a parliamentary democracy operates.
The UK citizen doesn't have power to enact or disable laws. In the U.K., only the legislative assembly has that power.
My advice is for you all to shut up, pick up anything you can find on UK constitutional history, and study..._0 -
Collusion.
The lawyers and liberal luvvies are colluding to keep us in, or for a soft Brexit.
Can you imagine if members of the public had tried to stop Major or Blair giving away sovereign power at Maastricht of Lisbon? The lawyers, very happy with the direction of travel would have never have dismissed the challenge out of hand.
Next time we get a Labour Govt I might try my chances at the High Court if I don't like the people's verdict
The unelected PM has the mandate to leave the EU, not to leave single market as that option wasn't part of the referendum. The mandate of people should be respected and we should leave. But we should stay in the single market for atleast a couple of years after leaving. See how things go and then have another referendum to see if people want to actually leave the single market as well.
This policy of because we have had a 52-48 victory therefore we will jump in the middle of Atlantic because a woman and her 4,5 chummies want us to is sheer madness.
People keep on saying who will Germany sell their BMW's to once Britain has trade tariffs imposed need to know that the beamers will be bought by citizens of the country who got all the high paying British jobs.
I was speaking to a friend of mine the other day who did vote for brexit and he said the same thing that this Hard brexit non sense would bring this country down to its knees.
The govt does not have any mandate for a hard brexit and now they don't even want the parliament to scrutinize the deal. Brilliant. And who will be answerable if this country goes in a deep recession? The 17 million who each voted for their individual reasons. Some right some wrong but different reasons none the less.0 -
For The European Union, the UK invoked article 50 the moment the result of the referendum became apparent.
Everything else is academic and can only delay the decision of the referendum.0 -
Got to be honest, I'm a remainer. Many reasons. But a referendum is the way to deal with this.
If a home nation wants to opt out of it, a referendum for that would also be OK. But I don't think parliament should override the expression of democracy that a referendum can be.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
