If one choose to argue that UK parliament votes supercede the authority of the UK government then the same argument can be made that the will of the UK People supercede the VOTE of their parliament

Not to mention the VETO power of the EXECUTIVE should require a higher vote threshold to over ride as well as JUDICIAL concurrence whatever that looks like in the UK.

The US has a clear process for this does anyone know what that looks like in this case?

ha.

at one recent point i recall that the EU claimed that it needed “real progress” on a deal from the UK government in order to grant an extension. whatever happened to that given that the member states now seem to be making noise to accept literally anything to grant an extension?

also boris states that he refuses to negotiate further or something like that. so there is no “real progress” and if eu sticks to its previous word then in theory a hard brexit should result. the eu seems to be going back on its word which should tell the UK public (if they are awake and paying attention, both somewhat debatable i realize) all it needs to know about the true motivations and goals of the EU.

I might be missing something...

False analogy — I’d suggest reading the UK government set-up. Power to the government flows from Parliament. Parliament is sovereign.

If Parliament decides to say something and votes a majority, then the government is obliged to do this.

The “will of 52% of the British electorate” is decided during general elections.
