And as long as you keep telling us that people voted for anything and everything that you approve as a valid Brexit, others will keep bringing up that old chestnuts again proving the opposite. There was “the easiest deal in history”. No, that’s not what leave voters were being told their leaders. Quite the contrary. I have. So what? So now you’re the one deciding what’s “looking good”? Funny how Brexiteers demand having the authority about deciding what means leave and what not. - As I said, Splitting hares. - It's called an opinion. You are entitled to mine ????

tomacht8 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I am sure that some who voted in favor of Brexit have changed their mind when one of the leading advocates explains that it may take 50 years before positive effects can occur. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DMy4UM_zCpk0&ved=2ahUKEwj__pTNs_7fAhUHtY8KHZAzCDcQwqsBMAF6BAgKEAU&usg=AOvVaw3oj8zUWMVYfROIagzaddZ5&cshid=1548057557103 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to explain it again though if it makes you feel better. What I said was that parliament should not try and over-ride the result of the referendum by sabotaging the process and I stand by that comment. We didn't vote 52% to allow our MP's to decide for us. We voted 52% to leave. Now I will ask you again. Why will you not accept the result of a Democratic vote? Because parliament is sovereign in the UK. NOT the people. Parliament can do as they damn well like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Garvie Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 1 hour ago, Grouse said: parliament can revoke or replace any law I agree that both major parties agreed to "respect the referendum" but they did not agree to proceed with any specific deal or a no deal. Clearly Norway is not in the EU. I would prefer parliament to decide and have the decision ratified publically. Running down the clock to force no deal or crap deal is cynical and unethical Yes running down the clock (As in a filibuster) is unethical, and the last resort of villains, rouges, scoundrels and knaves. The point is oh so simple as you say "Parliament can revoke or replace any law". Parliament can repeal the corn laws, dump the poll tax, call another referendum, vote for a hard brexit, or sell the NHS to the US (As many front bench Tories appear to want), or vote to remain. Parliament - whatever individual office holders may have promised - can change its mind. Indeed it does that all the time, much to the annoyance of most posters (Including me) on TV, on issues that concern them. If we don't like it we change who we vote for at the next GE. I just get so tired of the "We ara peepul" refrain. Firstly Brexiteers are just some of the people - a minority of the UK population, and secondly just voting one way on one issue does not entitle you to take over the executive.

vogie Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 This is from the Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/global/commentisfree/2019/jan/16/second-brexit-referendum-mps-democracy-peoples-vote "Arrogant remainers want a second vote. That would be a bad day for democracy So, many hoping for another vote will have cheered as MPs dramatically voted down the prime minister’s deal last night. Yet making a second vote happen would require tearing up much of what we consider to be the elementary workings of British parliamentary democracy. Since the June 2016 referendum, MPs have repeatedly voted in support of the result, in the name of implementing a decision taken by a majority of the electorate. Many seem to forget that between the original Brexit vote and today, we had a general election. Conservative and Labour parties both committed themselves in their manifestos to implementing the referendum result. Only the Liberal Democrats could say that they opposed Brexit in an election that saw them pick up only a handful more seats than the catastrophic 2015 election. The same happened over the so-called “great repeal bill”, the legislation required to repeal the 1972 European Communities Act, when MPs rejected an amendment calling for a referendum on whether to support the deal or remain in the EU."

The executive cannot override parliament even though the scoundrel May tried to my manipulating the use of the Royal Prerogative. The UK evolved the parliamentary democracy system to prevent exactly what those Brexit Tories and the easily led people who believe them are trying to do. And, btw, the advisory referendum wasn't a one off, never to be repeated or changed event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
