O/T Democracy

[Exiletyke]

Just sounding bullish doesn't make you right BL. You are simply wrong. The referendum was not legally binding. The government did tell us that they would implement the result but they were wrong to do that as we are a parliamentary democracy and any such decisions, any referendum, as set out in our law, must first pass through parliament, our elected representatives, to become law. The High Court ruled.

This is to stop a government suddenly putting a populist vote to the people (hanging for example, or hiking super taxes), getting it through in a way that it couldn't through parliamentary means. That's why its set up that way and that's why it's important that this is challenged.

Then why did almost 500 MP's vote to trigger Article 50. Democratically I might add
Perhaps they didn't know what they were doing
