so, a Scotsman's vote is worth more than an englishman's vote.
It was supposed be a national referendum., obviously not.

What about the majority in Scotland who voted to stay in the UK having been promised by HMG that if they remained part of the UK they would remain part of the EU?

[gcom2] 03/11/2016 11:05

what about the 20 odd million people who voted to leave

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 11:04

gcom2, it failed in the sense that those campaigning for brexit lied, the promised massive cash injection every week to the NHS being but one.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 11:01

Those who offered the referendum were the remainers and they never expected to lose it.

[gcom2] 03/11/2016 11:01

so, democratic process has failed

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 10:59

gcom2, yep.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 10:58

Theresa May knew what the outcome of the Divisional Court case would be. She was just posturing to stop a Cabinet split and do well in the opinion polls.

[gcom2] 03/11/2016 10:58

what, brexit?

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 10:56

I think it is a dead duck now.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 10:55

RBS up 5.45%

[gcom2] 03/11/2016 10:55

well it seems to be good for rbs,whatever it is they are voting on

[maxk] 03/11/2016 10:47

Contempt, utter contempt.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 10:44

Those who are quick will already have worked out, that Parliament includes the House of Lords, so will not only the House of Commons have to debate and vote, but ditto the House of Lords.

Stronger Sterling means cheaper imports, less pricing pressure.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 10:42

UK supermarkets are flying!

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 10:38

Strange. I rather thought this BB would have been busier following the Divisional Court's judgment.

[gcom2] 03/11/2016 10:23

sold a few (not many) rbs on that spike ahead of the party next week.
although some now say a trump win will trigger a market rally. who knows.

Parliament must vote on whether the UK can start the process of leaving the European Union, the High Court has ruled.

This means the government cannot trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty - beginning formal discussions with the EU - on its own.

[careful] 03/11/2016 10:17

Imprecise wording on my part.
I did mean that.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 10:16

Interesting FTSE100 is now flat and Sterling has given up its spike.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 10:15

No No careful. Parliament decides if and when Article 50 is triggered, not HMG.

[careful] 03/11/2016 10:13

So they have to consult parliament before triggering article 50.
Interesting as most MP's are remainers.

[leedskier] 03/11/2016 10:09

I did post during the case argument, that HMG did not expect to win it.
