We had to go to the courts to find that Parliament had to ratify the referendum result for it to be constitutional, thus making Parliament sovereign. Then Labour parliamentary idiots voted against the Bill because their constitutency voted Remain, suggesting the voice of the People should be sovereign ..... but only that small section which had voted them into the decaying and rabid House in the first place.
Wouldn't it have been more honest to say that as representatives rather than delegates they were elected to voice their opinion in a House the courts had confirmed as sovereign, so, as they thought the people were wrong to vote for Brexit they were continuing to oppose the will of the people?
If the will of the people were truly respected in the way politicians currently pay lip-service isn't it true we'd have all kinds of unpleasant Trumpish laws? So is Parliament there to enact the will of the people OR thwart it for the people's own good? Discuss .....
So glad I don't believe in representative democracy.
