"Suspend Parliament" How Will the Supreme Court Rule ?

[SWP's back]

When’s the verdict expected, do we know?

The problem, however, is that parliament has rejected the only deal on offer. Who wins? Parliament, the PM, or the people?
Irrespective of Brexit, I find it hard to believe that the judges will, effectively, overrule the Queen's prerogative.

May spent 3 yrs naval gazing then left it till the last min to ram through the deal her and he close team wanted,it was not acceptable,she did a bad job,Boris on the other hand i believe put liz in a really bad position,all the royal experts said it was very awkward for her,i think Boris has tried every trick in the book to get a no deal through,i think he has over stepped the mark,Junker said today a deal can be found but Boris is still talking about no deal,that is all he wants,now whether the court will step in i don't know but if they think he lied to the queen they may well do

After today's gripping instalment I think the odds have shifted in favour of the appellants. That Pannick fellow looked very smug.

I have been on a crash course in the goings on in the last few weeks but we preach democracy to other countries ,in the middle east for example, so we cannot allow a prime minister to shut down parliament so he can push through something our elected mp's have rejected

That will be the same MP's who voted to have a referendum ,invoke article 50 and sign up to Leave in their manifestos and then just changed their minds because they didn't win....

Looking smug is the expression de rigeur for senior lawyers.

Next week

Ah. I’ll not wait up then.

That's a way of thinking i suppose,the deal has to be decent and parliament has to be able to vote on it or it's a handful of people making the decision,Boris is unelected,he has no mandate to do that,you are a democracy or you are not,i do not believe that MP's should be whipped into voting against something they don't think is right,there are also a lot whose constitencies(sp)voted remain,leavers forget that

As someone who was one of 64% who voted to stay in the common Market/EU Referendum back in 1975 I was happy to see us part of a strong trading group of 6 then 9 countries representing 30% of the global economy. Funnily enough the 36% who voted to Leave never made a fuss like nowadays -they accepted the democratic vote.
Todays EU bears little resemblance to that trading bloc . Political domination,subsuming nation states into an EU superstate was not what we signed up for in 1975. 28 Countries now represent less than 1/5th of global wealth. The UK is merely a Region of the Greater Franco Germanic empire - So I voted Leave.
The UK has everything it needs to succeed and prosper outside the EU ,problem is most have grown up never known life before the EU and are scared of the unknown.

I would add to that afraid of getting into bed with Trump,he is just as likely to have a tantrum and pull trade deals or insist we don't get other deals before he would deal with us,getting into bed with a man child terrifies me!
