Good. Now, if the MPs would only regain their sanity and vote to stop this madness we could all get back to something approaching normal. They won't though.
Parliament must vote on whether the government can start the Brexit process, the Supreme Court has ruled. The judgement means Theresa May cannot begin talks with the EU until MPs and peers give their backing - although this is expected to happen in time for the government's 31 March deadline. But the court ruled the Scottish Parliament and Welsh and Northern Ireland assemblies did not need a say.
"By a majority of eight to three, the Supreme Court today rules that the government cannot trigger Article 50 without an act of Parliament authorising it to do so." He added: "Withdrawal effects a fundamental change by cutting off the source of EU law, as well as changing legal rights. The UK's constitutional arrangements require such changes to be clearly authorised by Parliament."
However, UKIP leader Paul Nuttall warned MPs and peers not to hamper the passage of the legislation. "The will of the people will be heard, and woe betide those politicians or parties that attempt to block, delay, or in any other way subvert that will," he said.

Literally no-one I have spoken to ever supported a hard Brexit, and as time goes on, any positive outcomes are debunked one after the other.
ReplyDeleteHow is Parliament getting the support to go ahead with this?
More generally, how come political parties push through legislation that the vast majority of their constituents are against? This includes things like removing the Ethics committee for the US Senate.
Ian Rawlings I'd love to watch them try another referendum.
