If they knew what they voted for we wouldn't be having this discussion and May wouldn't be trying to blag her version through without further debate. She knows full well that people have widely differing views on what they voted for. Corbyn wants guarantees to protect workers rights and jobs...

It is. We fought a civil war to make parliament sovereign. Parliament won. Crystal clear. The latest argument is that the government wants to carry out the will of the people and so bypass parliament using a royal prerogative. The will of the people is carried out by it's elected parliament...

Apropos democracy......, why is Queen Theresa bringing the royal prerogative out of the box to bypass parliament when everything is settled?

I'm working- can you work it out? Thanks.

What is the average for the post Brexit period compared with the same time before? I think it is 41%, but get page not found when I click your link.

Mainly speculation. I think the aim should be to alleviate poverty. Free movement was denied to millions and led to two halves of Europe developing at different speeds. In the end the East was bankrupt and the people had food, a pointless job in many cases and security - but no wealth. To...

We are in a predicament because of a split advisory referendum based on either yes or no, but without considering the various possibilities of the terms of leaving. There was no plan for leave winning. We now have one party invoking royal prerogative and another party using the unelected...

We are not being forced down a binary route. The EU has laid down the rules to stay in the Single Market. They apply to all members. The problem is that we want to be in, but want the EU to change the rules. The rules were in place before Brexit. We are not being forced to accept them. Those are...

It ( hate crime statistic) has risen by 41% since Brexit.

I ally myself with people against the disgusting reporting in the Express, Mail and Sun, and the dumbfucks on the UKIP Facebook site screaming about rich bitches, gay judges and enemies of the people. Even the conservatives now want May to distance herself from this scum. Sir Ernie asked me why...

What are you on! Bad tempered old man...

Which ones were passed using a royal prerogative? The issue here is not Brexit, but whether the government can use something from the Middle Ages to bypass parliament. The answer is no and rightly so.

I belong to the 'not 17 million' and I am all for MPs voting on issues that affect everyone and not just the chosen few.

The enabling act was passed after the Reichstag fire - that was suspicious anyway. We still have the judiciary to make sure that something like that doesn't happen. You have to question the motives of people who want to remove the 'brakes' from our system. The judges have stopped May...

Such as...?

They don't recognize the U.K. Courts' decisions when they don't like them.

Mine only got sneered at for being German.... but I am over sensitive apparently for mentioning it...

According to Farage - if he had lost - work to do...

My father was Rootes and my mother started work at the Standard as a secretary. Rootes was screwed because of Linwood and bought by Chrysler. Then came strike after strike - including sabotage of the production line. Chrysler offered to sell the whole lot to the Labour government for 10 quid. An...
