The manifesto this govt was elected on said there'd be a referendum,
and that the govt would implement the people's decision.

Governments routinely ignore manifesto pledges.

So what.

You asked for Parliamentary sovereignty. Hopefully you'll now get it good
and hard.

No, I asked that we leave this EU. Since the Govt had told me that
whatever the country's wish turned out to be in this regard would be
implemented, that's what I expect to happen.

The court should have declined to hear this case: it's not within their
competence.


Sorry but all of what the government does is subject to UK law.
They may change that law if needed but until they do they must obey.

This is the sovereignty TNP and the likes have been asking for, the UK
parliament deciding what happens even if it takes a court order to make
them do it.
