Oooops,

Theresa May humiliated as High Court rules MPs MUST vote on Brexit before Article 50 is triggered | Daily Mail Online

I'll save that in case of overturn at appeal.

Yes, I'll happily accept the decision of the Supreme Court. Will you?

Winning an election by a marginal percentage is not a mandate to ignore the remainder of the population.

The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt won by a marginal amount and immediately went on a rampage threating Sharia Law on all including Christians.

Wining the Brexit vote by a marginal amount does not mean Brexiters have an open cheque book to do as they please

yep Democracy is a fickle mistress but you have to respect her.

Just as I didn't want New Lie but put up with it as it was the will of the people, then Brexit is the same.

If they vote against Brexit I suspect many will find themselves unseated at the next election.

Now if they offered the Brexiters a sensible compromise they might be able to keep their retirement plan as an EU MP.

Saying it was advisory doesn't make it so. It said in the leaflet that it would be enacted.

What's marginal about 1.25m votes?

It's called arithmetic. 1.25m people out of 5m is a LOT. 1.25m out of 1 billion people is tiny.

The Supreme Court is the last stop so if they say it needs a vote then so be it.

I wouldn't agree with it but that's what it would be.

(I'm not appealing to the ecj).

It would be amusing if the ECJ had the final say.

No one said they did. But there are certain policies that require actions that reflect the will of the majority such as immigration. If that is closed off then I think most Brexiters would be happy.

What would be really amusing is if they overturned the High court/supreme court

You're probably one of those who never left the UK, but if you had taken a ferry, eurotunnel or plane abroad (except to Ireland) you would have noticed that your passport was checked at re-entry

Shauny is only allowed to travel as freight.

We must be on the circular line;-)

"Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron, a supporter of remaining in the EU, said: "Ultimately, the British people voted for a departure but not for a destination"
