I suppose Leave supporters do have difficulty with literacy.

If you missed Lady Hale's speech this morning here it is.

I heard her speech.

The reconvening of parliament is in Bercow's hands
The introduction of legislation is in Bercow's hands, and parliaments.
The government has no majority.
But Parliament will not hold an election.
The full horror of Blairs attack on democracy and its institutions is
now apparent

Its democracy Jim, but not as brexiteers want.

TNP was saying parliamentary democracy was the reason he voted leave so
now what does he want to vote for?


I never said that. I said sovereignty.

There is a huge difference between wanting to repatriate control to the
UK and MPs ignoring the result of a domestic referendum. Returning
sovereignty to parliament was never intended to overrule a democratic
vote by the people.

Dishonest Romoaners have seized upon such an idea by saying that this
is what
we actually voted for.Â* Of course, if you look at a number of campaign
items,
it should be rather clear that it was about Britain being sovereign, not
Parliament per se, which also includes our courts, an end to freedom of
movement etc.


In the minds of many Leave supporters, it's about ordinary citizens
being sovereign, not Parliament. Would you agree?

No.

To them, the debates
in Parliament are incomprehensible, a sort of white noise, a meeting of
posh folk who don't represent us. We want the man in the street, and all
his neighbours, to be the real decision makers now!


No, the man in the street thinks that when he is asked to make a choice
on the absolute understanding that if he does it will be honoured, and
is told that this is the single biggest political choice of his
lifetime, and he makes it, and it isn't honoured, why the **** the ****s
that asked him to make a choice actually bothered to ask if they
weren't going to listen
