T...Parliament knew fine well what they were about. The European Union Referendum Act 2015 contains no authority, explicit or implicit, to revoke the European Union Act 1972, or any other piece of statute or regulation. The result does indeed carry no more legislative authority than an opinion poll.<br /><br />And I say that as a passionate Brexiteer, who saw this coming the moment the Act was rubber stamped.<br /><br />It does beg the question of what follows when - and I think it's well beyond a question of "if" at this point - Parliament rejects all notion of Brexit, while huffily pontificating about the merits of <i>representative</i> democracy, the rule of law, and our proud, noble, inviolate, unwritten, capricious and volatile "constitution."<br /><br />I imagine there will be some grumbling that <i>someone</i> ought to do <i>something</i>, then we'll put the kettle on and go back to our daily grind.Rogerborgnoreply@blogger.com
