So now they are NOT leaving the EU? if the people voted to leave, then parliament just says no..... I’d say a civil war may be on the horizon.
No, Brexit will now happen automatically and whatever adjustments need to be made will be made over time after Brexit.
I think they are leaving the EU but with no deal for the transition. From what I read the deal May made was horrible and they might as well have stayed in. This at least saves them billions and gives them their sovereignty back, something Theresa May never wanted from the getgo.
Bottom line is no deal is better than a horrible one.
The people wanted out. Their politicians thumbed their noses at the people . What next?
As I understand, that deal (Mays) was voted down, that means that March 29th is the end. They exit the EU in what they call a hard exit, which it should have been done anyway. BUT, there are some shenanigans going on and they might weasel a new vote on Brexit-which is a crime in itself.
Then there is another type of shenanigans going on I dont understand. It would amount to a revolt within the political minority and THAT should lead to a civil war.
But the UK is neither a democracy nor a republic.
What the people do in a plebescite is of no consequence, constitutionally.
Parliament is the sovereign (well, technically the Crown in Parliament) - and it's up to Parliament whether to stay or to go.
The problem is she watered Brexit down dramatically.
One would assume they voted against it because it wasn’t “Brexit” any more. It was some bastardized democRAT version.
They’re leaving. Its a hard Brexit than a soft landing.
Brexit is March 29 and requires no further action from Parliament.
Congratulations, UK! Its done.
With what? They're a servant class and their masters confiscated their firearms long ago. With what would they go to war?
Happens all the time in the USA. The majority of citizens vote down gay marriage. Some activist federal judges decide otherwise. The majority of citizens vote to cut off benefits for illegal aliens. Some activist federal judges decide otherwise.
And the bizarre thing is numerous FReepers keep insisting that we're "in danger" of becoming a direct democracy where the majority can do whatever they want by simply getting 51% of citizens to agree. I'd say we're "in danger" of getting the opposite. The people's votes don't matter anymore.
With knives and propane?
