Re: @jess
"The only mandates we have around here are ones supplied by parliament or possibly the Queen."
Something written by Tim Harford a few years ago reminded me that not only did the Magna Carta limit the monarch's powers, but the Glorious Revolution of 1688 did so even more, conveying much more power to Parliament and away from the royal prerogative. And Ms May was appointed by the monarch, not by Parliament. The critical point in 1688 was this (quoting Wikipedia): "Some of the most influential leaders of the Tories united with members of the opposition Whigs... the Bill of Rights 1689 has become one of the most important documents in the political history of Britain and never since has the monarch held absolute power." We need Tories, Lib Dems and Labourites to unite now, to get rid of Brexit once and for all.
