Why do you put unelected with the judges but not with people?
|
|
By:
You can’t have an elected electorate imo ,you could/should have elected judges though
|

By:
No one picks the electorate but panels of judges are selected

When the anti-Brexit establishment enlists the help of the Supreme Court that is unelected, to overrule a decision of the government that was elected.
And all done in the interests of preventing the carrying out of Article 50 which is an act of Parliament. It shows that UK democracy is a sham. The court said their decision wasn't political, yet their ruling has political consequences that they were fully aware of. So how can they be impartial in those circumstances? They could simply have said it was not their business to interfere, like the High Court did before and no one would have blamed them. |

bit of a give away when all the usual arch remoaner suspects were outside the court afterwards celebrating like their team had just won a cup final

By:
The government celebrated after they won the semi final

I think it could set a dangerous precedent as anyone could challenge anything they do not like or disagree with.

Yes but was it not part of the leave agenda to escape the brussels control and have our own laws and judgements and taking back control , so the British supreme court did this and said 11-0 that Bullingdon was wrong , people cant have it both ways

Where to begin with this mess?
Title mentions parliament. Post mentions 11 judges which have nothing to do with parliament  .Anyway for those that don't quite get it, parliament is sovereign. There is also no evidence at all that parliament is trying to prevent Brexit. This goes back to the frequent con these days that no deal = Brexit, except it doesn't. Parliament is trying to prevent no deal, like it was elected to do when 54% of people voted for parties that rejected no deal in 2017. |

Some of the more moronic papers dressed it up as 17 million versus 11 judges - it's laughably simplistic and anyone who buys into it is a moron
The judges had to decide whether the PM could effectively do whatever he wanted on any topic, and suspend Parliament without presenting any justification. They rightly decided he was acting way beyond his powers, and everyone should be damned pleased that they did, otherwise we would be living in an effective dictatorship |
|
By:
Parliament is trying to prevent no deal,
If only that was their only motive they could merit some respect but this step has blocked any sensible negotiation with the EU,like fighting with two hands tied behind your back. |
|
By:
that may well be true, but the OP posted about the judges opposing 17 million people which is a wilful misinterpretation of the facts
|
|
By:
it's completely disingenuous to suggest this parliament will vote through any deal boris might bring back. not a chance in hell
|
|
By:
No it's not a misrepresentation at all FatherMaguire.
The fact remains, that the Supreme Court could have taken the same view as that of the High Court with is that parliamentary procedure is not the business of the courts. Instead the Supreme Court made it their business. Which is in their powers to do, but not something they were obliged to do. Therefore the decision to intervene looks politically motivated. |

And further I have not seen confirmation that “Parliament “ encompasses the 3 house ,if it does not the inference is that the Supreme Court is Supreme ,I think their actions have confirmed this . ,they are above parliament ,the electorate The Crown and God it appears .

The referendum elected to have Parliament act on the voters behalf to get the UK out of the EU. A referendum is not a legal act it's just an expression of opinion. The government's attempt to prorogue Parliament was purely intended to stifle debate and leave on the 31st October come what may which is not acting on behalf of the people who voted for it but purely for the government. The Supreme Court deemed this to be unlawful. I'm quite prepared to be educated on this though. |
|
By:
That’s not correct it depends on how the act and law is passed that allows the referendum ,in this case there was no laws or acts to make the result binding ,was the referendum that took us into the EEC not binding either then ?
|
|
By:
Parliament was blocking ,stymying and suffocating the will of the people ,prorogation was used correctly imo .
|
|
By:
A referendum just asks the government to act on their behalf. No it wasn't binding.
|
|
By:
Not sure if I should have said Parliament or government then.
|
|
By:
No it doesn’t ,if it did the act of acting on the result would have been written in as legislation ,it wasn’t
