the majority should always prevail, subject to law
but not by avoiding due process mps should vote to trigger article 50 and we can get on with it or if they vote against it, let the fun begin but lets remind may she is pm not dictator |

That's right Injera, they stand in front of the cameras and tell more bare-faced lies. They make me sick.

If they really wanted the will of the people to be enacted they didn't need to go to the courts.
|

By:
They should be hung , all of them.
|
|
By:
if they wanted that then they should have made the result of the referendum to be legally binding
they did not, so it requires parliament to rubberstamp referendum result and trigger article 50 or face consequences in next election |

and Cummings again, quite rightly, calls for the government to drop the appeal.

At what point would brexit voters want to see proper scrutiny? It really does seem to have gone over their heads just what was said by Nissan in realtion to what would make them stay and then ......they stay. If, during the negs, it soon becomes apparent that they get a very watered down brexit would they want parliament to have scrutiny then?
The silence is deafening! Thing is you've been backed into a very tight corner (by May) and should negs look like not going your way then by your own arguments you (via parliament) will have no say in that. I suggest you start looking at the emerging (material) facts and start forgetting what it is you thought was going to happen from here on in. |

brexit voters? a bit extreme imo
Tony Blair supports Remain  |

MPs, ****.

At the end of the day the public has no say in the final outcome and we all know this
If the ELITE want Brexit then it happens and if they don't then then we stay If no one believes that then time to wake up and smell the bacon |
|
By:
Well it looks like the people are maybe starting to realise this. The problem for the political class is where does it end?
For me, this will end in a general election. The Tory party should announce that every candidate is mandated to stand for re-selection prior to the election. Represent your constituency or remove yourself. |

How can UKIP renegade on anything you muppet? |

By:
If the Commons are required to vote and if Brexit is blocked then there will surely be a vote of no confidence which would trigger a General Election.
|

that's not going to happen.
many are in danger of doing a good impression of Harry Enfield's self-righteous brothers. the bill will be put to parliament, and the motion passed. it will also be passed in the upper chamber. However May will have to explain what it is she plans to do and how it is she plans to do it and how she plans to involve parliament in decisions regarding Brexit. And that will likely take time to agree upon. And because of that, the chance of article 50 being invoked before the middle of next year is slim. |
|
By:
The bill will be amended to say that May does not have the authority to leave the single market and she will have to negotiate on that basis.

Expect @theresa_may to negotiate terms, call a general election, make Article 50 a manifesto promise, return with massive majority and vote |
|
By:
She can't "call a general election". She would have to engineer a vote of no confidence. No surprise that a Tory MP is clueless
|
|
By:
this gives the people more power not less
its an important ruling not just about brexit, makes politicians more answerable to people , not less so some politicians talking utter gash on tv should be ashamed, just like the lies in the campaign, |

She can't "call a general election". She would have to engineer a vote of no confidence. No surprise that a Tory MP is clueless or two thirds of MPs agree. |
|
By:
She is reluctant to call an early GE because she wants Corbyn in opposition.
The anti Corbyn MP's will be keen for an early GE. She would get two thirds to agree. |

By:
*The anti Corbyn LABOUR MP's will be keen for an early GE.

By:
DAve thik about it. A50 gets invoked in May 2017, takes 2 years to negotiate with the EU. Both of these dates are very tight at best and will almost certainly come in late - but even if they don't that would put the GE in May 2019, so the early call is only bringing it forward one year.

By:
2/3 of MPs calling agreeing to call an early general has nothing to do with a vote of no confidence.
not that this matters. |
|
By:
you are correct - do they still need 2/3 for the vote of no confidence? It only states the 2/3 in the early election motion.
|
|
By:
An early GE must be nailed on now.
|
|
By:
vote of no confidence is just a majority. Callaghan's government lost by 1 vote.
|
|
By:
anyone know if the appeal is before Dec 18th?
|
|
By:
its set for 7th dec and they have set aside 2 days, all judges will be sitting
dont know how long they will require to decide, but shouldnt be too long |
|
By:
Don't think there's any exact date for the appeal. It should be before March, but it may well not happen this time of Christmas.
|
|
By:
Erm... What Donny said....

|
By:
cheers donny I did hear Dec mentioned and Parliament will still be sitting then as well

Great bit of spin on C4 news.
Woman economic correspondent said court verdict had pushed up pound 2 cents from $1.23 to $1.25, as the screen graphics showed it going from 1.238 to 1.244 (0.6c) They then intimated that Syria was all Trumps fault, but that Clinton would sort it all out. |
