I really shouldn’t have to explain these basic democratic principles

By:
It's not lfc's fault he is poorly educated but when you
offer unequivocal facts and he still argues then one wonders about his mental capacity. It isn't an opinion it is a fact! |

By:
In a democracy the general will rules
Not the queen and not Parliament That’s how it is |
|
By:
that makes zero sense and does not address sovereignty.
our parliament is sovereign isn't it? |
|
By:
If it does the will of the British people it is sovereign ( because the British people are sovereign )
If it doesn’t then it isn’t I know it’s subtle northernlite |
|
By:
Look at it this way , it is the British people who employ Parliament
We are the masters |
|
By:
nice try
 |
|
By:
Now we get the silly faces, from a silly person
|
|
By:
you are trying to argue fact with opinion. that is ridiculous.
you may not like the fact but that doesn't change it |
|
By:
Parliament must represent the will of the British people
That’s what it is for , it is not there to impose its will on us |
|
By:
so in summary you now agree parliament is sovereign but you wish it wasn't?
|
|
By:
No I think you are agreeing with yourself there , I’m disagreeing
 |
|
By:
you may as well disagree that today is saturday. it is a fact
|
|
By:
No it’s not the same, it’s just a label
The thing is to understand it |
|
By:
Is it possible for example to say this is Saturday , or to think this is Saturday
And be wrong ? Yes of course , it happens |
|
By:
You see when people keep repeating the mantra that Parliament is sovereign
I immediately suspect that they don’t understand what that means Yep |
|
By:
please stop you have worn me down with your weirdness. if you say it is wednesday that's fine.
parliament isn't sovereign, apart from under law, and the sun sets in the morning |
|
By:
What law says Parliament is sovereign ?
|
|
By:
what law doesn't?
|
|
By:
this has been a lot of fun but i think we are done now.
shhhhhhhhhhh Parliamentary sovereignty is a principle of the UK constitution. It makes Parliament the supreme legal authority in the UK, which can create or end any law. Generally, the courts cannot overrule its legislation and no Parliament can pass laws that future Parliaments cannot change. Parliamentary sovereignty is the most important part of the UK constitution. |
|
By:
We don’t have a constitution in the U.K.
I know Parliament makes laws , but that’s not the same thing as saying that Parliament is sovereign No law there I notice |
|
By:
Every law introduced by parliament can be changed , by the British people
|
|
By:
So if every law can be changed , that means that Parliament isn’t sovereign
The British people are |
|
By:
Ultimately it is not Parliament that must be obeyed , but the British people
Understand ? |
|
By:
we do have a constitution. unlike the usa it is not written but by agreement & president
It is a system of rules agreed upon. you are very poorly informed lfc |
|
By:
I know we don’t have a constitution , that’s a fact
|
|
By:
no we really do
|
|
By:
Nope
|
|
By:
every post you make yourself look more foolish
|
|
By:
The constitution of the United Kingdom is the system of rules that
shapes the political governance of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. |
|
By:
I’m not saying we don’t have little customs , and indeed some are good , some bad
We don’t have a constitution |
|
By:
it's a constitution
|
|
By:
ok
|
|
By:
how did you become this poorly informed?
|
|
By:
There is no document to prove there is a constitution
and until I can see one I am not going to believe it exists, sorry |
|
By:
if you have seen it northernlite I would be very surprised...…?
|
|
By:
so you want written proof or the unwritten constitution
 in a perverse way i do like your madness  |
|
By:
I don't believe what people say , necessarily ,
i,m like that, if there is a constitution i would like to see it , i, m like that  |
|
By:
being deliberately obtuse is a poor response
|
|
By:
not obtuse , just common sense
