O/T Democracy

[Brin]

Come on Brin you are an ex miner I'm surprised you are so anti Labour. Think of your roots man...

Roly, mining roots have nothing to do with Brexit.You like many have been sucked into a ‘political’ war and taken your eye off what this is all about and that is a freedom of speech democratic vote to leave the EU.

What ‘has’ happened is it is either about the Tory’s/Labour, people are now feverishly banging on about and not the reason why they who voted to LEAVE in the first place.

For me Corbyn is a man I would NOT like to lead the country.

"Now the courts are in charge, there really is no point in voting, anyone with enough money can get what you voted for overturned by the Supreme Court".

I suspect that Boris, Jacob, and their friends in high places are the ones with enough money. Whoever thought that the members of the Supreme Court would be so anti establishment? Every one of them, without exception.

Not the remoaners who have ruled on this Biglad and you are talking a unanimous ruling on this as well. It wasn't a penalties at the end of extra time decision it was an 11-0 rout. How can you ignore that?

Power grabbing is how I answer that. This is a political matter and always has been otherwise John Major would not have been able to prorogue parliament himself.

These judges have been given a back way in to what was always unreachable and have grabbed the chance to assume power where it was not wanted or needed but thanks to the remoaning *******s who cannot accept democracy they have now managed to wedge that door wide open to walk in and out of whenever they feel the need to.

Hypocritical pantomime parliament say they should not have been suspended after all they have been so productive over the last three years by trying to foil THE DEMOCRATIC decision made by the people.Let's have an election ASAP.All this remoaning bunch of plotters want is disruption.Stand up for what you stand for and go for an election NOW.

I now hope Boris will go for another prorogation but this time until Nov 3rd.

We should refer the matter to the ECJ for their view

[Exiletyke]

Courts make decisions based upon the law, not upon whether it will upset one of the parties to the proceedings.

In this case, I think the only guaranteed outcome is that the court will criticise the lack of a written constitution that lets everyone know exactly where they stand.

My feeling is that the court will approve the English High Court position - that proroguation is a political not a legal matter - but it isn't a comfortable outcome is it? Everyone knows exactly why BoJo has done it and his attempts at a Trump-esque post truth explanation leaves a nasty taste.

Found it at last
How wrong can you be
Anyone thinking of employing our resident legal expert needs to think again
Anyone thinking of having a bet on matters political needs to remember his hot tip for leader Dominic Raab needsto think again

I reckon Boris should put it to the European Court of Justice to overturn the supreme courts ruling!

Now wouldn’t that be farcical asking the ECJ to rule on this. We all know the outcome so don’t bother Boris.

He's daft and desperate enough
