Some of the front pages headlines in yesterday's anti-EU press are bordering on hysterical. The Daily Mail has described these judges as "enemies of the people" while the Daily Express ran with the headline "We must get out of the EU" and accused the judges of blocking Brexit. This is simply not true as the judges are just implying the law. After all, we live in a country where the rule of law and parliament are two of the most important staples of our democracy, yet some of those advocating Brexit would rather both are bypassed and trigger article 50 in secret. That is fundamentally undemocratic and unconstitutional. Ironically by appealing the High Court ruling, it will be the government who slow down the process of Brexit. After all, we do live in a parliamentary democracy and surely that is how things are supposed to work? Yes, a small majority of the British people voted out, but what about the 48% who voted remain? That is 16 million people and the considerable majority of Scottish people who wanted to stay in the EU. Do they not count? This was a result that was closer than the Scottish referendum and I think Theresa May should ensure a deal is secured that will best benefit the whole of Britain. To do this, I feel parliament must be consulted. Let's remember,eie it was May herself who has talked about a Britain that works for everyone. There is scant evidence to support that statement to date.
