Re: Was'nt one of the " reasons" for these referendum reasserting the soverignty of Parliament?
IANAL but that seems pretty bloody clear to me and any attempt by an unelected cabal of lawyers and bankers to overturn the democratic result is likely to go down very badly.
The problem is that people forget: the 'Government' is answerable to (or "held to account" by) 'Parliament' ie. Parliament is not the "Government" and effectively sits above the 'Government' even though members of the 'Government' also sit in 'Parliament'.
The courts and the "unelected cabal of lawyers" is a fully recognized part of the check and balances in our democratic system.
As for the bankers, perhaps you need to familiarize yourself with the real costs of putting a case before the courts. Basically, if you don't have deep pockets you can forget about it.
As the judgement makes very clear, I suspect you haven't read it, it wasn't about the referendum result but about how the government was playing fast and loose with our constitution.
