...But for how long? The government is currently appealing
against "the People's Challenge" lawsuit that won a high court ruling
in an attempt to force the government to consult parliament over the referendum
result in which the Vote Leave side won. The new hearing is an attempt to
overturn Mzzzzzzzz Gina Miller and
her devious cohorts, see here for essential background: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/brexit-betrayed.html.
However in the meantime parliament has taken the bull by the horns in what is
probably a very wise move. They've carried out a pre-emptive vote on Brexit. It
was passed by a huge majority. It was a double vote that involved a compromise
to get the Labour MP's on board, but there's no doubt Commons members are
pretty much against this new twist in the EU-leaving tale and are ready to
support the referendum decision. If the government lose their high court appeal,
the parliamentary vote in itself may not be enough because it was only a substantive
motion; the ruling may demand a full "Article 50 Act", which will
cause another few months' delay, but this vote is a useful gauge of parliament's
opinion which means the People's Challenge have merely interrupted an
inevitable outcome. Source: https://www.rt.com/uk/369545-uk-parliament-article-50-vote/.
Among those who voted against the motion are a few predictable names: David
Lammy, MP for Tottenham; a nasty little tyrant who initiated the whole "second
referendum" farce, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/brexit-awaits.html.
So does this mean it will now be plain sailing all the way towards British independence
from the EU?... Not a chance! This is just another battle won. The forces
opposed to Brexit will double back and regroup. There are already signs that
they have other tricks up their sleeve; probably something connected to the
Scottish veto, see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-38250740.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; there is only one solution to this
crisis: let Scotland
repeat their independence referendum taking into account the EU situation. This
is not over yet and we must remain alert until the day the Article 50 process
is complete.
