Death of democracy

[JohnD]

All the Brexiteers demanding sovereignty of Parliament will soon be bemoaning the sovereignty of Parliament.

So that's hatejob

Handy should be next.

Hawkeye is already threatening the assassination of people whose views he does not share.

Jumped up ex-migrant telling us what can and cannot happen in our country... The usual story we've been seeing for the past 20 years or so.

I say she ought to be careful, because if she and people like her underestimate the passions some people have for brexit, it might be the last thing she ever does.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Are you saying that the UK was more racist 20 years ago, and you want to go back to those times? Or that it was less democratic in some way, and you want to go back to those times?

Do you support the will of the mob or the people?

Apparently . . . The Supreme Court is tipped to overule this decision !

Ever get the feeling that we're being played?

We ARE being played.

 

[HawkEye244]

What do you think judges are for?

Justice. Nowt else.

The mob is the people. The rest is made up of little self serving power circles, too many freemasons for one thing.

Calm yourself dimwit

 

[EFLImpudence]

What if the law as written is what you consider injustice?

Which should or would the judges decide?

Should juges refuse to obey the law?

 

[HawkEye244]

Serve the will of the people, that's it. Not themselves.

This is one of the many places where you are wrong.

The mob will gladly string up someone they don't like.
Whereas the people would vote them out.

They are not the same thing.

You seem to prefer the former, rather than the latter, especially when the person in question is someone who doesn't fit in your preferred racial(or other) group.
It is the latter who are the basis of a democracy and thereby a civilised society. The former is a fast track to chaos, and injustice.

 

[EFLImpudence]

Serve the will of the people, that's it. Not themselves.

Do you mean, for example, sentence someone to be hanged even though it is against the law?

 

[EFLImpudence]

By the way - what is an ex-migrant?

When people turn virile they become the mob. There isn't a boundary between the two.

Serve the interests of the majority.
I don't think the majority would want to see capital punishment returned..

By the way - what is an ex-migrant?

Someone that has come over from some third world sh1t hole, used our education to better themselves and then used it to attack the system for their own ends.

Mate all she's done is ask the independent judiciary to give an opinion on a question of constitutional law. If it wasn't her it would have been someone else. How on earth is that "attacking the system"? What does that even mean?

Remember the referendum had NO legal effect. It was merely advisory. Also remember the majority was only 2%.

Theresa May has been attempting to negotiate the terms of something that will severely impact the prosperity of our country for generations to come WITHOUT the input of our democratically elected representatives (i.e. our MPs). We don't live in a dictatorship where one person has that power!

YOU wanted to take back control from the EU and give it to our Parliament. You're simply getting what you asked for.
