So you're saying U.K. voters voted Cameron in to get us out of the E.U.?
He offered the referendum, the voters would then decide. Cue the naive BM, "but why didn't they just vote for UKIP?"  |
|
By:
So it was all a plan by unscrupulous voters..

Today's decision is correct.
The interesting thing for me is that any mp who votes against triggering brexit could well be held to account by their constituents at the next general election, thus risking their career. It's decision time! Not so sure that many of them will have the b**** to do it? |

UKIP do not have the infrastructure to be in Government, they were formed to put pressure on the Tories for an IN/OUT referendum on the EU. Cameron caved in, he was spooked enough to offer one. Anything else? |

So there were no Eurosceptics in the Tory Party?
|
|
By:
This is a bad decision, who would deny that ?
I don't think the majority of the judges understood what they were being asked. |
|
By:
So there were no Eurosceptics in the Tory Party?
Yes of course, and this was dividing the Tory Party and with UKIP gaining momentum Cameron became so spooked by the chances of losing votes and MP's he called the referendum. Anything else? |

I hardly think he was worried about Douglas Carswell and Mark Reckless..

Rich self interest gets in the way of democracy. Has this ever happened before? Like - zillions of times. But then has it ever worked in favour of the majority of (can I call them) ordinary people. I know you will all tangle me up in legal terminology etc but quite honestly - it is Remain Rich sticking their oar in. Plain and simple. And it will remain so - pardon the pun.
The great unwashed have been taught another lesson. |

may was getting in the way of democracy nobody else
shameful that mps should even try to avoid parliament bill could have been passed by now ! |
|
By:
very poor decision, weakens the very fabric of parliamentary democracy.

you should become a judge lfc, then you would just need a few

Breeding MAD 138 Tory MP's backed Leave. |
|
By:
185 backed remain and they are representatives of their constituents and voted in to take decisions on behalf of their electorate.
|
|
By:
Which is why they will obey the will of their constituents and will BACK A50 being triggered BM.
As you say THEY represent THEIR constituencies, if they don't then they will be sacked by their constituencies at the next GE. You are slowly catching on. |
|
By:
I do realize if we stupidly leave the E.U. we are setting this Country back 10 years.

By:
lol zen

It's only a good decision if MP's represent their constituencies on how that constituency voted on the referendum.
Your Remain MP's will have to face their hostile pro Leave constituencies if they vote to block A50. |
|
By:
the leavers should appeal the court decision coo either the judges di not understand the issues. were fed misleading information, were too stupid to vote , and 8 votes to 3 is too close to call
|

so are we to believe that if miss pushy pants and her rich pals hadnt stumped up the money to bring this case,the supreme judges would have carried on supping port and playing bridge whilst the british electorate in their words were denied their democratic rights,makes you wonder how many times before we,ve been illegaly denied,maybe these judges should be sacked and miss pushy pants given their job

She was trying to stop the Government bypassing our Sovereign Parliament to get the U.K. out of Europe
in a manner that nobody would be able to see or agree with let alone debate.If you believe in the Sovereignty of Parliament which we still have despite wanting to take it back then you cannot oppose what she did unless you thought Brexit was a license to act in a Dictatorial manner with no accountability to any M.P.s that are meant to protect and serve their Electorate. |
|
By:
the leavers can appeal the decision
but that would take it to their favourite court |

A man has been arrested over alleged threats made against Gina Miller - the woman behind the Brexit legal challenge.
The 50-year-old man was detained in west London on Wednesday on suspicion of racially aggravated malicious communications. He is in custody. The arrest follows a complaint made on 6 November relating to online threats. The Met Police has also issued eight "cease and desist" notices to individuals across the UK. They advise recipients that to continue with their current actions or behaviour could result in police action. |

Did the police investigate Monisha's call for trump to be assassinated? (a guardian contributor by the way?)
|
|
By:

|
By:
donny I suspect she's already regretting it.
DM all over her past, not good. Why'd she do it. Is she thick as well as attention seeking. |
|
By:
clearly she is not thick
it seems as if you live in some alt reality |
|
By:

My dog could do thyat |

Great news. Guarantees a Tory/UKIP coallition after the next election.
The ensuing meltdown from the lefties will be the most glorious yet. Trumping even Trump. I would start planning those marches just now boys and girls...pesky permits Let me know when they're booked so I can come along to point and laugh. |

By:
