Enemies of the People

[shaunbhoy]

a government that has done nothing but encourage this mob mentality.

Uh oh! Drama Queen alert!!

It would be ironic if the leave voters continued to attack the freedoms and institutions of this country and lost their support for a vote that was meant to Strengthen those very things they now attack.

Yet another piece of sweeping generalisation and hysterical overstatement. Keep it up, it is priceless.

Probably your arrogance in believing you can ignore the will of the people.

Remember, more voted leave than remain. We're not trying to subvert justice. You are.

You like everyone else wants the British Parliament to be sovereign.

The courts ruled in your favour yet you keep whining and complaining it's unconstitutional.

We have seen the murder of an oposition liberal MP several months ago. Death threats this week made against judges and citizens standing up for their rights in a court of law. The same threats against liberal MPs have been made if they voted down the bill. Parts of the national media calling for the silencing of the opposition and a goverment that has done nothing but encourage this mob mentality.

I think it's going the other way. People are already angry with politicians. Those politicians are now telling them they are irrelevant. Backed by a handful of judges.

The Government hasn't encouraged anything. The people feel this way. You need to understand that pdq.

For all the GEs I can remember, the losers have accepted the result and we have got on with it. On this occasion there are a few arrogant numpties determined to subvert democracy. They are the ones in the wrong. They're just too arrogant to see it.

And yet the death threats come from the leave voters. Who is subverting democracy?

Because a one person one vote referendum doesn't need to be ratified by the same Parliament that voted for it.

The elitist don't like people having a vote.

Judges are upholding the law and doing their job. It's people like you who don't understand and refuse to understand how the British constitution works

It's up to MPs and the Lords to decide whether to follow the will of the people.

Now I understand why Cameron completely ran away. If he was an MP he would be getting death threats from all sides.

He's the worst PM we have had since WWII.

A bunch of elitist Remnants that think their voices are more important than the majority.

Who has said that?

Probably your arrogance in believing you can ignore the will of the people.

Who is?

The law is that, in order to invoke Article 50, parliament must first be consulted. The reason is that leaving the EU will involve removing rights of UK citizens that have been enshrined in UK statute law, and only parliament has the power to do that, because of parliamentary sovereignty.

If the PM seeks to invoke Article 50 and leave the EU without consulting parliament, she is acting outside the law by taking to herself powers that do not belong to her. That would be a subversion of justice.

For somebody who presumably believes that UK laws and UK sovereignty are important, you don't seem to know very much about them.

Can I presume the judges are those elitist you refer to? Why do you think the courts are independent from the goverment in power (put there by the majority) and the crown?
