Having taken the government to the Supreme Court regarding the validity of the Brexit vote she is now threatening to go to court again to push for the matter to be fully discussed in the House of Lords
Is this democracy in action or is she taking the 'piss' out of the UK democratic process?
Not at all. But she is asking the UK courts whether the UK government is attempting to take the 'piss' out of U.K. law.
It's far better to live in a country where the public can challenge the rulers. How can anyone question or doubt whether its a good thing? If she is taking the piss, then the case won't even get started.
By the way, the initial case was not about the 'validity of the Brexit vote'.
Thought this was another RIP
BORING
POLITICS FORUM PLEASE "BOSS"
Brexit means Brexit
Yes, but what does that mean?
Beanz meanz Heinz
Beanz Meanz Cross & Blackwell
Heinz are shite
It means that was what the majority of those that took part in the referendum voted for. Which was to leave the European Union
exactly
just smacks of a sore loser
And brexit we will, but surely you'd prefer that brexit to be delivered via full consultation will your elected members of parliament rather than dictated to you by an individual?
A few people on this board could do with reading up on what the case was actually about instead of just glancing at an ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE headline.
Ms Miller is the founder and chairman of Miller Philanthropy, which she launched with her husband Alan, the original “Mr Hedge Fund”, who made more than £30 million in the City.
Peoples champion obviously.
I wonder who her puppeteer is?
Easy answer which you may or may not like , it is a wonderful democracy in action , be proud of it at least we haven't got a man r killing/imprisoning us if we don't agree , be proud , even if it annoys , we are one of the most democratic society's in the world .
Well its not as one Welsh MP put it breakfast .
On reflection, do you think some of the folk voted leave thought they were voting for or against breakfast , which might explain a lot of outpouring of emotion on this matter from folk who don't usually know where the ballot box is situated or how to vote .
Did the Referendum ask whether we wanted to sever all ties with the EU? Nope it didn't. We will be leaving the EU but that does not mean we cannot carry on trading with our EU colleagues. We will also need to maintain border security. How can we achieve that without maintaining a relationship with the French?
I am glad we live in a country where the government is required to act within the law.
Did you get that from a Christmas cracker?

It's a pointless sound bite by a Prime Minister who appears to specialise in them. She doesn't seem anywhere near as bad as her predecessor was, but she does confirm a general impression that this Government isn't much cop and and would be in some trouble if the main opposition party was not a complete and utter shambles.

Sorry for the repeat post, it's cold outside and, of course we all know that this slows down your Internet connection to an absolute snail's pace when that happens. Also, the cold means that when you are told that websites cannot be reached, they actually can be, but, very, very slowly - hence my multiple attempts over a fifteen minute period to post one short message, BT broadband, what a winner!

Agreed,
Do you believe that all citizens of the said country should act within the law ?
The rest of Parliament, which is the point of the initial case.She - just like us is entitled to do whatever she wants as long as it is within the law. Well that's one side of the argument.
The other side being she and her mate 'the pimlico plumber' are obviously doing this for the express reason of slowing down the already slow process and trying to get it all bogged down in red tape. What is there to stop the Govt from passing a law to say that they will have the final say and not the supreme court etc.
It's all political gesturing and whether you approve or not is down to your stand point I guess.
It could however be a whole lot worse, Prime Minister Corbyn idea of Brexit would be
The Brexit vote meant leave the EU, with the ability to create UK laws which could not be usurped by any EU institution and as such striek trade deals, claim back fishing rights etc etc etc and everything else - so anything or anybody within the EU which stops that - we should not be part of.
Like it or not that was what was voted for - and the UK needs to ensure that happens.
Personally - the whole question should never have been asked - and it was an impossible answer (internal EU reform was needed, free movement of people pre Maastright etc as an example ), but the result happened, anything else and we may not be as democratic as we tell others to be.
UK growth forecast to go from 2.2 to 1.4% , Germany forecast to go from 1.4% growth to 1.0% in 2017. Uncertain times ahead for all it seems. I guess no one saw the ex Australian commissioner interview about what happened the week after Brexit - it seems there is a queue forming. Very interesting times ahead full of opportunity, maybe upsetting the apple cart was needed for reform all round
This makes no sense. You are saying that Parliament might pass a law or act which hands power completely to the government and away from Parliament?I know - that was the point I was trying to make.
Gina Miller goes to court to prove a point of law
As long as there is a parliamentary will - then the Govt can enact law to make what she is trying to do illegal.
Ironically - this could go all the way the to the EU courts - and how bizarre would that be
