“ymb....what about Champagne Tories "”
Tories are entitled to drink Champagne, Mikey. They don’t portray having a few bob as a mortal sin which can only be assuaged by making the rich poorer. By contrast Socialists believe that having enough money to buy a bottle of Champers is second only to drowning a sackful of kittens in the canal (whilst many of them buy more of the stuff than the “rich” whom they despise).
The notion that the referendum result might be overturned by a fresh bunch of MPs is an affront to democracy. The question was devolved to the people. They answered “Leave” (and please, no “four-fifths of five-eights of f-all”). Ms Miller ensured that MPs passed the necessary legislation to start the process.
“TTT....but according to you, all those millions of people who voted to REMAIN no longer have any say in the matter....they no longer count at all.”
They do no longer count, Mikey. The decision has been taken. The legislation was enacted. Those wishing to remain had their chance to vote. Not enough of them cast their votes to win the day. It’s like losing the Cup Final 5-4. The four goals, wonderful as they may have been, no longer count. The team who scored them do not get one hand on the cup. Unlike the European Union itself, we do not operate a “best of three” when it comes to matters like this. Nothing has changed since last July. There is no justification for MPs to revisit the question on behalf of the electorate. All that MPs need to do now is to hold the government to account by ensuring that the UK properly leaves the EU (for that was the question, “Leave” or “Remain”).
When Ms Miller launched her legal challenge last year she insisted her aim was not to derail Brexit. I suggested then that her assurance was a load of male cattle excrement. Now she is trying another tack in an attempt to see the result of the referendum reversed. I said previously that Ms Miller is unused to being denied what she wants. This time I fear she (and her friends) may have to become accustomed to it. And I stand by what I said about her.
