[Politics] Brexit

[midnight_rendezvous]

Not happy about the Preston result. Might ask the FA if we can play it again until we get the result we want.

Damn that Parliament Sovereignty that Brexiters so desperately wanted!

 

[mikeyjh]

Frankly, the SNP are relatively small fry. Likely to fail miserably. Good.

I don't think so, if Brexit was the icing on the cake as far as their will for a second (independence) referendum, the part of this judgement that dealt with devolved administration is the cherry on the icing on that cake. Suspect there will be a second go within 18 months and they will win handsomely.

Cameron's legacy continues.

 

[BBassic]

Wow, the Lib Dems. Bet May is quaking at the though of 9 (or is it 10) MP's voting against her.

I don't know if you're making a joke or if you're serious. If you're serious, then you should really check the number of MPs by party.

I'm not trying to say they'll achieve anything merely pointing out that they've said they're planning to vote against it. Not sure why people are on my back about that but whatever.

Think few really appreciate what Gina Miller has done, this government really need to hold their heads in shame.

Oh, we all really appreciate what Gina Miller has done, and what she is. She is a very, very wealthy woman who likes getting her own way. So much so, that when the referendum resulted in her not getting her own way, she took action which has cost the British taxpayers, most of whom have far less money to throw around than she has, hundreds of thousands of pounds. It's very clear where the shame should lie.

Yeh, right. Whatever.

Oh, we all really appreciate what Theresa May has done, and what she is. She is a very, very wealthy woman who likes getting her own way. So much so, that when the High Court resulted in her not getting her own way, she took action which has cost the British taxpayers, most of whom have far less money to throw around than she has, hundreds of thousands of pounds. It's very clear where the shame should lie.

Corrected for you.

Whatever Brexit brings democracy is still intact thanks to her, this is the biggest victory of all. A brave woman we went it alone and could have easily walked away in fear for her life, sponsored by segments of a hateful media

I hope the police closely monitor any hate filled communication put in her direction, the LAW will act where necessary

She sounds like one of the very very wealthy Tory and UKIP supporters who eventually forced the government, at great expense, to hold a referendum. These supporters also like to get their own way even though many of them are non domiciled in the UK.

Strange world.

I don't understand why they get so much airtime. Who cares what a party, who has less than 1.5% of the MPs in parliament, thinks.

 

[Two Professors]

How utterly bizarre.None of the judges couldn't be arsed to get up and vote,a simple majority verdict in favour,and all the runners-up are crowing about it.If you can accept a majority vote in one instance,it's about time you grew up and accepted it in the Referendum.Don't suppose you will though.

Nope,tried Google translate and it still comes out illiterate.

 

[portslade seagull]

Watching BBC parliament it appears most will vote for the triggering of article 50. Think they realise it will be political suicide to stall it

She has forced the government to abide by the constitution of this country. When the Referendum Act was passed in 2015, it was passed as advisory.
When we went into the Common Market, an Act of Parliament was passed in 1973. It requires an Act of Parliament to leave.
It does make me laugh that those who voted for British sovereignty, then moan and complain when British judges in British courts rule that our own constitution is followed.
It won't prevent us leaving the EU, but it will make sure that the law is followed with elected MPs having their say in how we do it.

Hmm, I wonder whether she will get abuse whilst out with her family on a Sunday, I wonder whether the hate filled media will stalk her and abuse her as much as someone who has a different opinion to her.

As a point of interest, what percentage of parliament is Douglas Carswell's UKIP seat?

Because we have had our 5-seconds of democracy when we where allowed to put a cross in a box. Now we all have to get in line and support the result of those crosses, despite that result not being precisely defined. Any criticism, suggestion or thought is not allowed, unless you want to be undemocratic and an enemy of the people who put a cross in the winning box; you have to get in line and support the result as defined by the Tory party.

 

[melias shoes]

Not just you...... but why do people on here have to be so nasty??

......... and so short-sighted.

So do you really think that comment is nasty.? Really?

A line you say? Sounds like fun, count me in!

"criticism, suggestion or thought is not allowed". Are you having a laugh, I think having over 2500 pages of moaning and crying and trying to change the democratic vote, proves that "criticism, suggestion or thought IS allowed".

The Victor Medrews might be OK, but even after Brexit they will find something else to ruin their lives.

The only thing that would be a downer is if we fail to get promoted.
