Nice Lady.

// She's challenged it. She lost, Now she wants another go. //

It's called due process of law. She's challenging at the next level of the legal system. I suspect she will lose there, too -- but it's a process worth preserving and respecting.

//it's a process worth preserving and respecting. //

So is democracy - and look what happened there.

[jim360]

Nothing's happened to democracy in this country. There's a lot of argument about how it *should* work, but, as it was before 2016, so it is still today.

Preserving rule of law is equally important, if not more so.

//There's a lot of argument about how it *should* work//

Only from people who have ridden roughshod over it. The rest of us know how it should work - and how it has always worked.

[jim360]

The arguments about how democracy should be structured in this country in future should hardly be confined just to one side of the debate.

And, as a matter of fact, Democracy in this country works when Parliament takes decisions, and is then held to account, if necessary, for those decisions afterwards. That's the essence of representative democracy. The problem arises with the 2016 referendum because it has made representative democracy face off against direct democracy. There's a role for both, but there are poor rules in place for how they should interact.

That shouldn't be a matter of which side of the Brexit debate you are on. It should be clear to everyone that there's a conflict between the two.

2016 The people voted to Leave, and then in
2017 they voted in a pro Remain parliament.

Democracy has dealt a contradictory hand.

[vulcan42]

But there shouldn't be a conflict. We, as a nation, voted in the existing MP's during the last general election. We, as a nation, voted to leave the EU, our wishes should be paramount. The MP's we voted in should respect our democratic right to leave the EU.

[naomi24]

Quite Vulcan. And the MPs we elected, as a parliament, voted to implement our decision. They haven't.

You've accidentally hit the nail on the head, jim. That's how Democracy should work.
