Lloyd90 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 448 vs 75 in favour of triggering article 50 and Brexit by March 2017.  Looks like the will of the people might just be upheld and the self serving lot decided they didn't want to risk their nice fat salaries on defying the vote 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me matt Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 What the **** are they voting for? We (the majority) made the decision with our votes didn't we? TBH I'm getting a bit bored of this now, it's like a promised birthday present that never actually arrives 😕 May still has nothing concrete in way of transition or policies moving forward.

Danger-Mouse Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 From Tim Farron  "Labour & Tories holding hands towards a hard Brexit, refusing to seek the will of the people on the deal. I want democracy not a stitch up".  What a load of cobblers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â They're voting because of the court case. Had that not been brought about then there would be no need for a vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Â Is that the Tim Farron who is the Liberal Leader with a total of NINE MPs? Â Yep. In the same way that Labour are threatening to hold the Government to account if they don't like the terms and Wee Jimmy thinks that she has a veto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBeaky Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Tim Farron talking BS as usual. Â The court's verdict was purely on a point of law - i.e. that ministers cannot repeal an Act of Parliament under the Royal Prerogative - this is important! That's the way the system works - only Parliament can enact primary legislation, and only Parliament can repeal it. Â The European Communities Act 1972 is primary legislation, therefore ONLY Parliament can repeal it - which is, in effect, what invoking Article 50 does. Â The verdict made no political point - it was purely ruling on a (vital) point of law. Â Â Parliament has, wisely in my view, voted in line with result of the EU referendum - hard to see how they could do otherwise and still expect to be in a job the next time they are up for election.

guest1957 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 This vote is amazingly only advisory, it isn't an act of Parliament and will likely have no influence on the outcome of the court case and what would need to happen if the government lose.
