OUT WITH A DEAL EATING OUR CAKE AND LOVING IT suck it up remoaners
And like a typical anti democracy remoaner he decided the will of the people should be ignored the minute the democratic result was in total fecking hypocrite 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Despite it being voted in to law by the commons the spineless two faced remoaner MPs have totally abandoned any morals and decided to ignore the will of the British people.
It will be remembered and no election or referendum will ever be the same again in this country.
The one thing that will come is a massive surge in the popularity of UKIP or a similar party in the future who stand for the 52%.
Happy Days.

So you mean that rather than our own Parliament which can be voted in or out by an approving / disapproving British electorate the EU didn't ever make any of the laws that we have to currently abide by then?
Parliamentary sovereignty is a principle of the UK constitution. It makes Parliament the supreme legal authority in the UK, which can create or end any law. Generally, the courts cannot overrule its legislation and no Parliament can pass laws that future Parliaments cannot change. Parliamentary sovereignty is the most important part of the UK constitution.
Parliamentary sovereignty and the UK constitution People often refer to the UK having an 'unwritten constitution' but that's not strictly true. It may not exist in a single text, like in the USA or Germany, but large parts of it are written down, much of it in the laws passed in Parliament - known as statute law.
Therefore, the UK constitution is often described as 'partly written and wholly uncodified'. (Uncodified means that the UK does not have a single, written constitution.)
Developments affecting Parliamentary sovereignty 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

“In theory at least”...
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
Out of choice,may I hasten to add. Years of lazy policy making which was totally of our inept MPs choice, amplified by scapegoating to suit lazy decision making (e.g. Thameslink contract).
I don’t how many times we can have the debate about sovereignty. I’ve yet to come across a Brexit supporter that understands it. But it matters not. They won the day.

No that is a fact.
However it matters not a jot, onwards and upwards. Trade is trade and I'll be interested to see if Johnson and co shit themselves when reality strikes, or if the collapse starts.

But it only supersedes as we chose to allow it
And it has done since 1972, when Parliament passed the European Communities Act. Since then, if there has been a conflict between national law and European law, the UK courts have to give priority to European law.

Not for much longer though.
when Parliament passed the European Communities Act.

And your point is ?
Parliament passed the Act that allowed EU law to take precedence over conflicting UK law. Parliament has since revealed that Act. Because parliament is sovereign and always has been.

Ah! I see Parliament legislated in 2018 to repeal the 1972 Act, and in 2020 the United Kingdom ceased to be a member of the EU in accordance with and by virtue of that Act (albeit amended by further legislation of Parliament), demonstrating that the previous Parliament (of 1972) had not bound its successor.
So parliament wasn't Sovereign from 1972 until after the referendum in 2018.

Yes it was mun. Your second paragraph is an incorrect conclusion from your first.
