Subject: RE: BS: From my eyes Elections
From your link Backwoodsman:

"Over the years, Parliament has passed laws that limit the application of parliamentary sovereignty. These laws reflect political developments both within and outside the UK.

They include:

The devolution of power to bodies like the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly.

The Human Rights Act 1998.

The UK's entry to the European Union in 1973.

The decision to establish a UK Supreme Court in 2009, which ends the House of Lords function as the UK's final court of appeal.

These developments do not fundamentally undermine the principle of parliamentary sovereignty, since, in theory at least, Parliament could repeal any of the laws implementing these changes."


Thanks for that.

Still see that along with the "usual suspects" you are good at asking questions, which I have had the courtesy to answer, while you ignore questions asked of you. Here's a reminder for you:

1: What are you going to debate after the terms and conditions have been agreed?

2: If in the US Presidential election a voter turn out of 72.2% came up with a similar result in favour of Hilary Clinton would you then advocate that her majority was insufficient and that Trump should really be given another chance. Or would 51.9% Clinton 48.1% Trump be good enough to make Hilary Clinton the next President of the United States of America?

But just in case you remained moved to silence:

Answer 1 - nothing to debate it would be a useless talking exercise.

Answer 2 - With an average US voter turn-out of 58.6% if Hillary Clinton wins by a margin of 52% to 48% in November there will a huge sigh of relief and there will not be a single murmur about minority votes by those who question the Brexit result.
