If the people really wanted out of the E.U. they had every chance of voting in a U.K.I.P Govt.
Unless they had all thought to themselves ,let's vote in a Tory Govt who are pro-E.U. then
use the referendum vote to vote out of the E.U. thus getting rid of the Prime Minister we
have just voted in, then it would all make perfect sense...

vote probably just put nuttal over the line in stoke,he doesnt need to even bother campaigning all the labour luvies hitting the airwaves banging on about votes,amendments to brexit etc ,will be more than enough chukka just sending the working class vote running to the ukip window

it would be great to have nuttal as an mp

he would then get a vote on triggering article 50

It was testing the law Donny. Nobody was sure what the law was and in 3 instances a law lord thought otherwise.
We voted out so quite not sure why we had to go back to parliament who okayed the vote in the first place.
Just all seems an enormous waste of time and money to satisfy an attention seeking individual.

Well the government had to really didn't they, to check if the people had power or an individual with deep pockets and an agenda.

Still, I'm consoling myself that it's 'a victory for everyone' even though it feels like, yet again, democracy if taking a hoof in the balls.

the court case is not about brexit

the judges said that before the hearing

i think some folk are not understanding what the court has done today

Thirty odd million people went to the polls and the majority voted to leave.
One attention seeking individual takes the issue to the courts and they overrule the decision. Sad

We live in a democracy.

The majority voted to leave the EU.

And that's it.

Everything else is just dancing round handbags - and using public money to enrich lawyers even further.

She has very much succeeded in her aims. She is playing the long game.

Parliament must vote on the go-ahead for Brexit.

This could raise interesting issues regarding our democracy. It's unlikely that The Commons will generate a majority against triggering Article 50 - there simply isn't the numbers there despite the Liberals and Ken Clarke (probably) voting against it. More likely there will be delays and filibustering in the shape of numerous amendments to the legislation before it goes to The Lords

.....where it gets really interesting.

There is little appetite for Brexit in the Lords. Will they risk a constitutional crisis by voting against the triggering of Article 50, despite this being the will of the people? My guess is more delaying tactics, in the hope the public loses interest in the issue, before a General Election which may return a Parliament where Brexit support is in a minority...a second referendum....Brexit kicked into the long grass and delayed to the never-never.

Not an implausible scenario.

What will be the next spurious 'challenge', assuming that Parliament votes to trigger Article 50 ?
By:

rtb

Electorate certainly won't lose interest.

We've been wanting a vote for years.

Majority wants out of the EU.

That's it.

Then why didn't you vote in U.K.I.P at the Election before Brexit?, that was a chance of a lifetime but you along with the Country
didn't take it. Instead you voted the Conservative Govt in led by pro-E.U Leader David Cameron.

Cameron was neutral on EU membership at the time of the GE BM.
I know that you think Cameron wrote the Lisbon Treaty because you are clueless, but he actually opposed Brown's signing of the Lisbon Treaty.

So you're saying U.K. voters voted Cameron in to get us out of the E.U.?
