SPEAKER John Bercow could hold the key to the legal deadlock over Brexit, because of a quirk in Britain’s unwritten constitution.
Deplorable Cybored Offer Upgrade User ID: 70451569 United Kingdom 11/06/2016 04:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	SPEAKER John Bercow could hold the key to the legal deadlock over Brexit, because of a quirk in Britain’s unwritten constitution. As the so-called “eyes and ears” of the Commons, Mr Bercow could theoretically use his senior position to push through Brexit without a Westminster vote. Constitutional experts have been busy grappling with the fallout from last week’s High Court ruling that Article 50 cannot be triggered without an Act of Parliament. One theory is that senior members of the Privy Council, which include the Speaker, could overrule the judges’ decision. Less than 50.

I am hoping, I started hoping with nothing to place the hope on after reading a little about it earlier. This is at least something to put your hope on. It is worth hoping for. The most precious things are the simple things in life, always present in the simplest of minds.

For Parliament to align with the majority there needs to be an election at which the current 70 % remain of MPs are replaced by a more balanced and representative cast. The Lords needs replacing anyway as they only represent the elite and not the People. An electable upper house would be a powerful platform in the upcoming election. My only problem with Majority rule is that you end up with a mobrule. Where are the checks and balances in the current system. Bercow was installed as a safe option after the last speakers where discredited. Like PM the Speaker who is meant to be above influence and independent has always been dependent of the patronage of the few. Anyway none of the above may continue with selling us out like they did for fifty years. New balls please. New game. new service.

I think it's irrelevant really, because I really can't see parliament voting against it. And if they do then they'd almost certainly be an election, and in that election UKIP and similar parties would make massive gains.

By what logic then do they have to approve the result of the vote? Have they no decent lawyers in the UK anymore? This should be very obvious. "Everybody lies."
