The only certain thing about the UK is its continued accelerated decline.
Simply put, as this thread and others show, there are too many cretins in the country.
Nope, I wasn't planning to surprise anyone. As I've said umpteen times ... I've never voted Labour, up to 2010 had always voted Tory, but will never do so again.
According to the unanimous judgment of the Supreme Court. Sorry that you hate parliamentary democracy and the rule of law, but that's how it is.
A very neat twisting of my words, hats off to you for that. My comment was to the effect that how could someone predict that the Supreme Court would invoke a 400 year old ruling to declare a 21st century action illegal (an action which has occurred many times since the 17th century, mostly without question in the courts). If anything, it proves the need for a for a fully written constitution, and not one where judges can trawl through centuries of mostly irrelevant 'precedents' to find something that eventually suits.
His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

Next you’ll be arguing that parliament can’t overrule laws to suit political end and that the Fixed Term Parliament Act should be observed.
Or that non-political referendums should be negotiated cross-party, not just by one party.

Or does that not suit you?
The FTPA is not fit for purpose, and I await with keen disinterest your argument as to how and why it works so brilliantly.
There's no such thing as a non-political referendum, and if you haven't realised that by now there's no hope for an intelligent contribution from you.

You're incorrect in so many ways, the referendum to leave the EU did not have options to vote for different parties. It was a binary question. A person could be a voter for Tory, Labour, LibDem, DUP, SNP, PC, SF, or whoever. Their vote was whether they wanted to leave the EU.
Intelligent Leavers get this. They accept that it should have been a cross-party negotiation team.
Why don't you get it?
You say it's not fit for purpose, but that's only because it has been bypassed twice in the last 3 years, and never actually used.

That's a concept that some of your remoaner mates are struggling with.
