Judges and politicicans are bound to obey the law. That the large majority of the population does not know the law is no excuse to ignore it.
On a personal note I am amazed that you don't respect your own sovereignty after demanding it so vociferously. This is the way the UK works if the Supreme Court says so.
That the popularly motivated 4% of the British population voted for something can stamp their feet and shout "we want it and we want it now" BWWWAAA if we don't get it (even tho threatening a revolution) is not telling me the country is stable enough to make its own decisions thoughtfully. Thank goodness for the Parliamentary system that is in places...where mature reflection and 360° context from all places and opinions can control the country calmly.
Mob rule is a horror and the men who designed the system were very very wise.
There are miles to go yet. Are the people of the UK going to spend the next at least two years whining if they can't simply send a letter to Brussels and clear their desks?
If the Supreme Court decides the direct voice of the people overrides Parliament then the entire constitution and nearly 1000 years of govt in the UK is tossed out of the window.
No one is trying to thwart anything...the conspiracy implied in this just hysterical mob conspiracy.
However the very system of govt may trip you up. It may not...but it could. In any case leaving is not going to be without its delays. So I suggest you sit back calmly and watch the drama.
Hi
Parliament gave us the opportunity of a Referendum, the purest form of Democracy, one elector, one vote.
It is not up to Parliament to rescind that because they do not like the result.
It matters nothing if it was 4%, as you claim, or if it was 1 single vote.
We have voted to leave the EU in it's present form.
That is Democracy in action, something very dear to my heart.
Our Prime Minister has already stated that Parliament will be given a vote on the exact terms of exit.
If the EU reforms itself to revert to what it was originally, a simple Free Trade area without Tariffs, without any external interference by people I did not vote for and have no chance of voting for, then fine by me.
I would vote to join a simple Free Trade Area.
That is what Brexit is about, w are wanting to make Free Trade Areas across the World without the Political Interference from others.
I will not be voting to continue to be controlled by a Political Elite, specifically Merkel and Junckers, who consider that they have the Divine Right to impose their wishes on others.
I do not like Dictatorships, in any way, shape or form.
I do not like Megalomaniacs who consider that they know best and we should follow like sheep.
Democracy is very simple, we are all equal
