The UK has long prided itself on its unwritten constitution - and it's finding out the hard way one of the disadvantages of an unwritten constitution.
I like the part where parliament is claiming to be preserving democracy after three years of not doing what the people told them to!

Again, because they don't care about what the people voted on. Brexit won. They need to deal with it and represent their constituents.

Originally posted by firstfloor View PostThe EU referendum of 2016 was not legally binding but the government of the day promised to implement the result. The referendum was a bad idea at the start because the people were already represented by their Members of Parliament. The Cons did it to pacify their evil back benchers. The government failed to deliver Brexit and are now hanging by a thread. A new government might be elected on the promise that Article 50 is revoked, and we stay in the EU!
I doubt the new government will be remainer - at least one commenter (seems to be remainer) thinks Johnson is actually maneuvering for an election. Risky, but it makes sense.
