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?

We're not wrong.

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.
