    Government lose Brexit case

    Not sure what the implications are here?

    I guess it will still go through, albeit delayed and with wee Jimmie Krankie and the bearded wonder having their say...

    I wonder if they'll get over it?

    Do you reckon Farage would've if last year's vote had gone the other way?

    You mean the man who said the fight would go on if the vote was 52 to 48 in favour of remain?

    Absolutely. This man bangs on about how "the people have spoken" and dismissing the "remoaners" yet I suspect he'd be whining like a stuck pig if he's lost. He won and he's still whining.

    I think they will be okay with it , just has to be placed in front of Parliament as legislation, devolved assemblies don't get a say , just MP'S voting on the legislation .

    The courts dont decide on the next steps , politicians do , as it has been ruled that they only have to present the case , so get ready for infighting from within the Labour ranks . SNP's wanting to leave again , again , again and again. UKIP with no voting power waiting to go, Welsh Government with no real say, Plaid with their non speaking welsh leader pretending to care for Wales , whilst it ignores the vast amount of voters who wanted out anyway.

    They will put together a piece of legislation difficult to unpick, knowing a huge amount of folk want out , those Labour MP's Labour with seats in the North of England, Wales and in marginals have very little choice than back an exit paln and quickly .

    The government will watch them all scrap it out, if it drags on, government just blame the others for not listening to the will of the people, and suggesting how could the opposition form a government, if i was Theresa May I would take short break and pop back later, to see if the dishes are done .

    I saw the other day on RT Sturgeon is twiddling her thumbs hoping the Tories say no to the referendum request.

    Mainly because they are peddling the myth that the entirety of Scotland is pro EU. Opinion of the Euro is equally poor in scotland as in other areas on europe. Oil prices have plummeted and still the UK government sends them huge amounts of money for access. If they left that'll be gone.

    That they are willing to exit a Union with the UK which takes up the vast majority of their exports to join the EU.

    If she had a referendum now, she would lose. Which would mean her resigning. She hopes the Tories don't give it to her so they have a grievance and can continue to bang on about the nasty English.

    On the above I don't think it really matters. May promised them a vote on the other end of the negotiations. So they'll debate it now then vote to approve it. If not then it will be farcical.

    I agree though - a remain decision would have kept Farrage in a job for life in Brussels. I think he would have walked away though rather than carry on the campaign, especially in light of what happen in the US.

    All Cameron had to was to put in a line in the motion passed by Parliament to allow us a vote that said Article 50 should be triggered within x months and that the result would not need parliament approval - but Cameron was convinced it was a no brainer he'd win - oopsie.
    Every government failure seems to get pinned on Cameron now.

    Hindsight. Don't remember anyone asking for this kind of thing back when the referendum was going through Parliament.

    No way would Farage have slunk off with a narrow defeat. Or any defeat.

    For a start, he'd have had no celebrity status in the US.

    If you support Brexit it was a reasonably good verdict. Yes Article 50 will require a parliamentary vote. But the numbers suggest that this will go through easily enough. But the verdict has stopped the regional governments preventing it.

    I agree with the LordKenwyne though - I think Jimmy must be hoping she isn't given the chance of a second independence vote. Oil revenues through the floor, having to enter the Euro zone if Scotland applies for membership and, potentially, trade barriers with their biggest trading partner. Good luck with that.

    Re: Government lose Brexit case

    I voted remain and still stand by that.
    However I will be glad once iwe are out, it's inevitable now and the thought of that odious Toad Farage claiming the moral high ground of process is unduly delayed is horrific.
    Once I hear bad news I like to get on with it and make do.
