Parliament voting on issues is how this country is supposed to work. From what I've seen of May, she'd rather it doesn't exist.

Cancel Brexit and lock up any rioters :clap1:

Don't be a banana...

lets let out the rapists and murderers to make space for them

I dont know.. If 52% of people voted to exterminate all bees and then the planet started dying, wouldnt we admit we were wrong and let the proffesionals repopulate them instead of hoping for an upcoming miracle.. I know weve had enough of professionals with their logic and science and degrees relevant to the situation.. but wheres the line? sure the people voted but if its clearly the worse of two scenarios should we not just be grown ups and accept we voted unwisely?

:thumbs:

We're not wrong.

why would that vote take place initially?

You sure about that?...

The High Court’s decision to rule against the Government’s Brexit plans and require Parliament’s approval before Article 50 is triggered is “a resounding defence of parliamentary democracy”, a leading lawyer in the case has told The Independent.

In a surprise verdict that represents a major blow for the Government’s Brexit plans, the Lord Chief Justice backed a legal challenge brought by a coalition of anti-Brexit challengers.

Speaking in court to The Independent following the verdict, John Halford from Bindmans LLP, who represents the People’s Challenge that took the case against the Government, said: “This is a resounding defence of our parliamentary democracy from our unanimous court.

If voting actually made any difference

They would not let us do it

Um.... Have you read The Bill of Rights?

Ukip voters demanded it

How can the govt appeal? This Lord Thomas is as high as it goes... Who are they going to appeal to! God? :joker:

Positive.

I have a suspicion that many do not really fully understand what it means to be democratic, ...even the PM it would seem that although May says the word 'democratic' she does not understand how the democratic process works.
If she did we wouldn't have people taking her to court to ensure our democratic constitution is upheld.

Ermmmmmm, the Supreme Court of course.
The highest in the land:shrug:

The man who had the final say is Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd.

As head of the judiciary and President of the Courts, he is the most senior judge in the UK. That honour was previously held by the Lord Chancellor, who is usually an MP or peer, but the legal powers of that role were mostly removed by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005.

But this is the top guy... the big cheese.

:clap1: Bring it on.

This must be our future when our new president gets elected and that vote becomes highly contested. Then ensues the epic battle to get them impeached, FBI investigations, scandal after scandal and so on... may end up with a stalled system

Unelected judges calling the shots. This is precisely why we voted out. Power to the people!


Anarchy in the UK? called for by 'mr brexit'.

Unelected judges :laugh:

I suspect some people don't understand that the EU is morally wrong.

Excuse me? I don't understand this.

Except the appeal is happening. The legal action was taken in the High Court, the appeal will happen in the Supreme Court.

Oh dear.
