The chances of an early General Election just increased massively this morning.

Campaigners have won their High Court battle over Prime Minister Theresa May's decision to use the royal prerogative in her Brexit strategy

I actually agree with the decision constitutionally and legally. However...

I would go to the country now. Whilst it is very unlikely the House of Commons will outright block Brexit (there's enough MPs from Conservatives, DUP and Labour to vote through) it could seek to warp the details. In addition the House of Lords which is overwhelmingly Remain could seek to delay the process - although if it does it could well be the last thing it does.

bye.

the govt should just get on with a vote rather than appealing it's not like it wont get through despite how many mp's didnt want brexit to happen

How's ur heart rate dan?

Personally yeah parliament is above us so they should get the final say. Think they're silly to appeal tho cos they're complaining about it being delayed to begin with, why are they delaying it further ! !

@Cerys;

I'm relaxed. We have the numbers.

But even if not there are other ways outside the electoral system to force MPs to re-think. That's all I will say...

So what was the point of the referendum other than to waste shitloads of money? Realistically a vote in the Commons ought to reflect the referendum outcome since they're meant to be working for what their constituents want but obv that won't happen, so basically the entire thing was an exercise in poor politics

I'm confused about why it's taken so long for this to happen?


Also not really relevant, but relevant to brexit! :D Dan you might enjoy this!

Democracy is dead

What a load of shit. If it is voted against in parliament then we essentially wasted time and money on something that was never going to happen.
