In the context of the referendum and all it entails until the vote is carried through hey are irrelevant, they had an equal say, they voted to stay but unfortunately for them over 1million more voted to leave...sooo....
They can still have a say in the countrys future in any subsequent votes held for whatever reason, GE, LE etc etc ...some they will lose and some they may win...but this one they roundly lost but still refuse to accept that decision...like I said in an earlier post, saboteurs and traitors

Democracies allow everybody to have a say in the country's future all the time. Arguing that some group should sit on the sidelines until it is done is antidemocratic.
Returning to my first post, meanwhile, all 11 judges agreed with this verdict. Two of those judges, Lords Carnwath and Reed, also sat on the 2016 case about the power to notify under Article 50 (as did a few others), and on that occasion they sided *with* the government. That is significant. Arguing that this is somehow a pro-EU decision is manifestly nonsense based on that alone.

All that's going to happen is that Parliament will be recalled, and soon prorogued again, this time for a shorter period that won't be able to be challenged, finishing roughly when the unlawful prorogation would have finished anyway. Nice to see where your taxes are being spent.
The true impact of this won't be on Brexit - it hardly makes a difference - but will come more from the fact that the PM asked the monarch to do something unlawful, and she complied.

What Farage said is hardly relevant. He would, of course, fight on to change folk's minds. But most leavers seem to believe in democracy and would let it lie until sufficient time had elapsed that it was obvious an erroneous decision to have remained, and then request a further referendum. Look how long leavers took to get the recent one after the first.
As for Boris, unsure one would want a single word description, but, "Hero of the nation, and defender of democracy", fits well. Perhaps now others can find a suitable description for a parliament determined to deny democracy and the nation's people ?

Try again.
The fault doesn't lie with anyone who's interpretation of the law gave them the opinion that proroguing was lawful. IMO it's with those who found a loophole to claim it wasunlawful on this occasion and created an almighty bad precedent. The sooner government can clarify the law there, the better.
