monkey104 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 i think people just want it over, though when the realisation dawns that a terrible mistake has been made then maybe they will yearn for a second referendum. No they won't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker7 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 oooooooh yes they will. (yawn) This isn't argument its just contradiction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQFKtI6gn9Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamston Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I agree and that is the fault of our very own parliament and its MP's. What interests me though is why no one in the stay camp challenged that before the referendum and only decided to bring it up after they lost. The time scale hasn't help. When there is a change in Government, there is no delay and the new administration starts work the next day. ---------- Post added 24-01-2017 at 08:58 ---------- Nobody thought we'd leave! I wish we wouldn't but this country needs another hate filled referendum like it needs a hole in the head. Exactly ............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) I agree and that is the fault of our very own parliament and its MP's. What interests me though is why no one in the stay camp challenged that before the referendum and only decided to bring it up after they lost.Wrong I'm afraid. See e.g. posts 369 to 372 (including links in post 371) in this thread. I expect the Leave side dismissed this as just more Project Fear noise at the time. Like all other inconvenient truths. But hey-ho, bygones. You've bought it, you own it The time scale hasn't help. When there is a change in Government, there is no delay and the new administration starts work the next day.The time scale is 100% down to Ms May, and -re. bit in bold- it looks like she missed that memo when she took office last July Edited January 24, 2017 by L00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant the process of leaving the EU. The UK couldn't have left the EU on 24th June 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtkate Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 And there we have it. Supreme court upholds decision that ONLY parliament can invoke article 50. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-38723261 Ruled 8:3 so not even close. Nevermind Unbeliever.

Gamston Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 And there is nothing Nicola Sturgeon can do to prevent the UK leaving the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtkate Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 And there is nothing Nicola Sturgeon can do to prevent the UK leaving the EU. Nope and the correct legal decision. The UK parliament is our ruling body and the devolved countries are STILL a part of that parliament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteowl Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Nope and the correct legal decision.

I'm just waiting for some of the people who voted Leave because of "parliamentary sovereignty" to start raging because some judges have agreed that parliament is sovereign.
