Not at all! If you read the post above you will see that Parliament passed a bill for the referendum which in turn passed the power to the electorate. It was decided by the electorate that we should leave therefore there is no reason why parliament should have a vote on Article 50 as the government has a mandate from its people.


No it didn't. They could have legislated for the referendum vote to be binding but they didn't. I don't know why you persist with this nonsense.

What is very concerning is that it is evident that a worryingly large section of the electorate have no idea whatsoever how a parliamentary democracy works.

PS even Farage was forced to admit on the Marr show when he was spectacularly taken down on Sunday that the referendum wasn't binding and that the legal action and result actually ensured that it would be and he should be delighted with the result.

What's concerning is that so many of the remain camp are still persisting in wanting to overrule democracy by trying their best to overturn the referendum result.

As Farage quite rightly asked that woman :

"What part of LEAVE don't you understand?"

Hopefully the next set of judges will have more sense  :)

"What part of parliamentary process don't you understand?"
Would be an appropriate question to Farage, as Nichola alluded to above.

Hopefully the next set of judges will have more sense   :)

Disgraceful statement.  The three judges did their job correctly - it's hardly their fault that government failed to put forward sufficient evidence to refute Gina Miller et al's case.

So, if you don't like the outcome of a vote you just ask for another one? Can everybody do that or just you? [Not that I want another referendum, of course. Once was bad enough.]

Stoop, you could just:


 "Accept the judgement and move on"



Remember, Parliamentary Sovereignty means PARLIAMENTARY SOVEREIGNTY.

Crown prosecutors are considering a complaint that the Leave campaign misled voters during the EU referendum campaign.

The complaint against Vote Leave and Leave.EU campaigns was submitted by academic experts in electoral law, who suggested “corrupt campaigning practices” were used by campaigners

I heard the leader of this protest group talking on Radio 5 this afternoon. This is what his (private) university has to say about him:
 
Professor bob Watt 

 
BA, BCL (Oxford), PhD (Essex)

Professor of Law
Professor bob Watt joined Buckingham Law School in September 2011 (bob uses the lower case b for his name).

Yes, quite, he struck me as someone who might be a trifle unhinged.

Quite at home amongst the realms of UK judiciary then.

Amusing alliteration.
