Current Affairs EU In or Out

[The binman chronicles]

Not a Tory but I have a thing for Theresa May. She would make a great Chief Whip.

Quite apt seeing she fancies herself as a dominatrix... or dictator, seeing she is unwilling to listen to the courts.

I doubt the blue rinse set would take to the streets, and Wayne and Waynetta wouldn't be arsed enough to get off the couch lol

I hope so for all our sakes, nothing worse than hooligans using any excuse for mindless violence. I see Farage and the Daily Express this morning already trying to stoke up the anger, because no doubt coverage of all this if it goes south will sell more papers.

It's about America, but I think it applies equally here. We all know that Brexit means Brexit, but it would be an utter tragedy if it took us down an ugly, closed and intolerant path.

Just when you think you can't be surprised by UKIP, Suzanne Evans - with a straight face - advocates political control over the judiciary.

... and 52% of this country listened to these lunatics.

Nigel Farage is planning to lead a 100,000-strong march to the Supreme Court to coincide with the start of the Government’s attempt to stop peers and MPs delaying Brexit.

The march, organised by the anti-European Union campaign Leave.EU, will end with a rally in Parliament Square within sight of the court building where judges will be hearing the appeal.

The campaign group is planning to “crowd fund” £100,000 from its supporters to pay for barristers to represent Leave supporters in the court action.

This will mean that the anti-EU supporters will have their own barristers in the legal action, who can challenge claims made by Remain supporters and even the Government.

Mr Farage, the interim leader of the UK Independence Party, and other prominent Leave supporters are due to lead the march from Trafalgar Square along Whitehall to Parliament Square.

Fairly sure that the Brexiteers would be only too happy to take the Bank of England back under their political wing too.

Breaking news May to push a simple article 50 bill through in one day in Parliment

It won't happen, but would you suggest that's a good thing Joey?

Look forward to seeing you dressed as Britannia in the front rank of marchers.

They are fascists, pure and simple. Just got to keep our fingers crossed that they never get into a position of power.

We got our country back, behold the great British democracy.

I'm so pleased we've wrestled control back from the undemocratic EU.

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

I'm staggered that good, reasonable people cannot recognise the significance of the difference between Parliament and Government bestowing or removing the rights of the people.

It is the basis upon which our very liberty in a democracy is based.

Parliament discusses it - Government does it. It's really not that hard to fathom. Parliament does not govern.

I didn't vote for this government, but I voted leave. Therefore, I didn't give them the mandate to run the country - but seeing as they got in and offered the referendum I gave them one to get us out of the EU. My non-tory vote at the GE wasn't enough to give the opposition the right to demand what way we go about it.

Not enough people gave any other party the mandate to govern and thereby not even put the issue to a vote. Likewise, not enough people voted to remain.

Essentially, democracy has worked (Up until this point) because we've been asked twice. I'm sure there are people voted tory but wanted to remain in the EU. Well, they got the opposite of what I preferred.

I'm sure there are people voted against the tories and wanted to remain - hard bun. More people in both votes decided against both.

Dem's the breaks...At least we the people got to vote on it rather than leave it to parliament.

Farage has been stamping his feet like a 5 year old since the court ruling.

As he can see this being the beginning of the end of the 'hard' Brexit he craves.

Talking up civil disobedience shows his true colours, the bigoted moron.

We're a parliamentary democracy, Parliament is therefore sovereign. The Govt are merely the party who have a majority of MP's in the House, that does not overrule the collective decisions made by the House. The Govt cannot act unilaterally without the backing of the House. What they have to do with any piece of legislation is convince the House to vote it through.

Parliament is sovereign. Our government is drawn from the legislature and takes its power from the legilsature.

It's not difficult to fathom.

Then it's up to the tories to push it through. They got the mandate to govern, so they gave the people the vote - who then gave the government AND parliament (If you want it that way) the green light; even from opposition voters (Like meself) at the GE.

The opposition have no cause for complaint, nor any place to make demands imo.

So the opposition know better than us, do they? You can see where the contempt is coming from here. They've been told we want out, let the tories deal with it - they govern, not the opposition.
