Gina Miller strikes again...…

leaving aside (for now) the rights or wrongs or Brexit -

how difficult will the business of government become if every contentious issue ends up having to be decided by the courts?

[youngmafbog]

I'd like to know who is behind that woman.

The democracy hating Deep State no doubt.

[agchristie]

I'm not sure how many Gina Miller type figures are out there who are prepared to challenge the intentions of Government.

The only winners are the legal bods who will be raking in the cash.

It all depends how strongly one feels about the perceived injustice and ill thought out issues.

Whether it's climate issues, bedroom tax, Universal Credit etc there is always the potential to challenge in the courts and many cases have been successful.

Sometimes legislation is flawed.

What a ridiculous state we are in when a member of the public can decide what parliament can and can't do.

[youngmafbog]

Agreed Danny.

[agchristie]

Danny //What a ridiculous state we are in when a member of the public can decide what parliament can and can't do.//

They can't decide though can they. They are legally allowed to challenge which is different.

The court have the power to decide.

[THECORBYLOON]

A member of the public is not deciding. A court will decide if it's appropriate to hear the challenge and if it is, a court will make the decision.

[dannyk13]

If stirrers like Gina Miller didn't initiate this rubbish the courts would have nothing to decide.She is the prime mover.

[agchristie]

As AOG said, leaving aside Brexit, there are countless examples of challenges which have succeeded in the courts.

[THECORBYLOON]

DANNY if it's not lawful, why should the courts not be involved?

[dannyk13]

Corby, I did not say that it was unlawful.

[THECORBYLOON]

I didn't say you did. What I mean is that if it's unlawful, it should be challenged and if it is unlawful, the courts will confirm it. If it's legal, the courts will confirm it.

//She is the prime mover.//

No. She is in the pay and following the orders of the prime mover. Soros. The globalist and anti democratic Hungarian billionaire. She lives in one of his gated, and secure, properties in Paris and works for one of his many "foundations".

[THECORBYLOON]

If it's possibly illegal, the courts will give a decision and remove the doubt either way.

[jim360]

Breaking news: citizen exploits legal right to challenge government to ensure that it is held to account, if appropriate, for a contentious decision undertaken through arguably undemocratic means, by appealing to the rule of law in this country.

[vulcan42]

The problem is she is not challenging this because it might be unlawful, she's challenging it in the hope of destroying Brexit. Things only become unlawful / lawful when it suits her, Brexit was achieved lawfully was it not?

[THECORBYLOON]

Regardless of the motives behind the challenge, if the legality of a procedure is in doubt, it is right for the courts to remove that doubt.

[Togo]

Get your heads around the fact that "she" is not challenging anything. She is being induced to resort to the courts, possible the European Courts. By non other than her masters at the heart of the corrupt, and itself possibly illegal, EUSSR and paymaster Soros.

[jim360]

Miller doesn't make the decision whether or not this is unlawful, so it's a nonsense that she decides on legality "when it suits her". She quite correctly challenged the legality of whether or not further legislation was needed to Notify under Article 50, and she would be at least well-justified in questioning whether suspension of Parliament for the purposes of forcing through a particular form of Brexit is legal or not.

[jim360]

Oh, stuff your conspiratorial BS, Togo.

[Togo]

When the rotten edifice finally collapses Jim, and it will, watch the true stories emerge from the fetid wreckage. You will have a lot of apologies to make, as will many others. The biggest scam ever perpetrated on a populace. Ponzi scheme in all it's methods.
