Appeal on the cards but it could go as far as the European Court of Justice......
We might be better off in just trying to get ourselves kicked out of European Union. |

Nicky Morgan (former Education Sec) was on Five Live this morning.
She thought MPs would vote to trigger Article 50 but then there will be a vote on the nature of Brexit. I highly doubt the first bit but am sure of the second.. She said people didn't vote 'to be poorer' and if staying in the Single Market makes up us better off, we should stay. Basically she rejects the result on June 23rd and wants us to stay in the EU as do most MPs. They will reap a whirlwind. |

We now find ourselves in the unprecedented scenario where democratically elected officials might overrule the democratic will of the people. They are trying to over rule democracy, inevitable appeal. |

By:
they only need to vote to trigger article 50
( blow the bloody doors off) they are trying to suit rhemselves when they have no further entitlement having a vote in parliament after brexit negotiations is probably a good idea to make sure may doesnt stiff us all, but there is no requirement to do so, unless we get a court ruling to say so ( brexit means brexit) |

Brexiteers do not worry this is a good thing.
Firstly many of Britains judiciary are not English and will not have the necessary logic and subtlety of thought necessary to understand English law. They may get there eventually but it is not certain. Secondly it has been down to us to take this momentous decision, it has been our burden. Now watch the mps squirm, they are not happy with this because now they will have to come out and make a decision. What will be decided from now is fine either way, we have done our duty. But now the outcome either way is not our responsibility, that will rest with parliament and those who tried to overthrow the referendum result. They will not do that, because they are too dishonest and cowardly. The mps themselves do not want this responsibility, it is a good thing for those who voted leave. |

the people voted for politicians ....democracy
the democratically elected polititians set up an indicative referemdum to guide them........democracy the government tried to over ride democracy by using an indicative referemdum without due democratic procedure the court has enforced the democratic rights of the people despite not being democratically elected themselves |

By:
the referendum was not indicative, it was a vote. for an indication of how people feel you take a survey, not a vote.
|

By:
it is for government to govern, not parliament.

we don`t elect parliament to govern, we elect a party to govern.

The estimated cost of conducting the EU referendum has been put at £142.4million.
The budget goes toward activities such as running more than 41,000 polling stations, counting votes, organising postal voting and providing polling cards. In addition, it covers grants provided to the official campaign groups, plus postal delivery of campaign material on their behalf. -Daily Express. That of course includes the £9m Cameron spent on those silly leaflets sent to every home. If it was an 'indicative' vote, then why was so much spent on it?!!! Whitewash.. |
|
By:
Injera it is difficult. many of the remainers are not capable of logical thought...most people are not.
|

By:
to spend142 million to find out how people feel? I suppose its possible, I read it somewhere.

By:
I don't think it is worthwhile even appealing this decision.
better to let the process continue and see the outcome. |
|
By:
yeah lets not bother finding out what the true legal position is
lfc has read something somewhere that will suffice |

By:
under no circumstance should those who voted leave give it a second thought, it is what it is.
we were not under any illusions that the vote would change Britain in any way fundamentally. That would require a radical democratic right wing party. nothing is decided by this vote in itself. |
|
By:
unsurprisingly Dominic Cummings has not only endorsed the court's decision but indicated that Vote Leave's lawyers were pretty sure it would happen anyway.
and at the same time put the boot into "those you see babbling nonsense re the court judgment today" |
|
By:
The people voted for Brexit, the duty of the government is to carry it out.
If the government wanted to decide whether or not we leave the EU, then what was the point of the referendum? What the Government wants is us to stay in EU, that is it. |
|
By:
a radical democratic right wing part
lol, try finding one of them , ...ever |
|
By:
it is a good decision for those who voted leave, because it alters nothing. But it does take away some of the burden from ourselves and puts it squarely on the mps and the liberals and leftists ansd communists.

its always a good idea to stop parliamentary leaders becoming dictators

By:
we may not leave edy.
 don`t worry brexiteers it is not our responsibility |
|
By:
Wouldn`t it be a fiasco if the remainers prevailed, and the rest of Europe said too bad we don`t want you
|
|
By:
Brexit is unique though edy, Parliament is struggling to represent those it should be representing as a %.
Which is why at the next GE there will be another political earthquake if Brexit is fudged. |
|
By:
Labour members vote Corbyn, Labour MPs vote against their decision. The people vote out of Europe, MPs vote against their decision.
Apart from themselves who do MPs represent? |

By:
the remainers should remember this, nothing is more contemptable than neediness

We live in a democracy.
The democratically elected Government held a referendum, as they had promised to do in their election manifesto. We had a referendum and the majority voted to leave the EU (for various reasons, I suspect). And that's it. Article 50, High Court judgements etc etc are mere diversions. The majority rules in a democracy ... it's not hard. |
|
By:
This has nothing to do with legal loopholes. It's the liberal elite refusing to accept the vote of the public.
I thought June 23rd was historic in its rejection of the elite: Cameron, Blair, Brown and Major. Corbyn, Farron, Sturgeon. Merkel and Obama. But what we could witness in the coming days could be cataclysmic. The complete overhaul of UK politics with could well happen.. |

Geez, can't you just leave already and stop being such a millstone around the neck of the rest of Europe?
