This will be a short thread on the People vs Parliament fraud because really everyone should understand how close to #Terrorism this is.

It's beyond any legitimate democratic approach. And it's encouraged by the offshore tax haven owned Brexit media

#StopBrexit
#StopTheCoup
The pronouncements ERG makes from the privileged floor of the Commons on sovereignty are self serving.

As a barrister put it after the Miller 1 case pic⏬.

You may not like this and I'd agree. The problem is that Brexiters relied on this multiple times to create Brexit.
I'll go through the most important events which enabled #Brexit and show this lie.

1. 2015 EU Ref Bill (attached)
A pre-legislative consultative referendum (commonly advisory).

Why was this?

Justified because Parliament, not People is sovereign. #FBPE

researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-…
2. Referendum Criteria

1. Lack of supermajority
2. Gerrymandered Electorate
3. Non-binding result

These decisions only became law because politicians were told in the document above, and in Hansard that the decision was for parliament, not people who would merely be "consulted"
3. Campaign Promises.
Transparency - true both sides did not correctly represent the law in the campaigns. Definitive statement from the notorious leaflet to Gove Customs union to £350m were wrong.

But they are not the law. And didn't people know what they were voting for?
4. Pre A50.
The first attempt to put article 50 into law was challenged in the courts.

If Parliament were consulting the people and would be making the decisions, how then could article 50 be put into law without a parliamentary act

2017 withdrawal act. Parliament sovereign.
5. A50 itself.

In order to confirm the result of the referendum and put it into law parliament then needed to turn a pre-legislative referendum into a post notification legislative process

So Parliament once again overruled the terms set with the people to do this.
6. The Brexits

At every point since then the Brexits evolved from 2016.

Brexits now are EU Exits with no promises and many consequences that have no consent (splitting uk down the Irish sea).

Parliament can disrespect the Brexit people voted for because it is sovereign.
6 occasion then that without Parliament over the people, the Brexits would be long dead.

Enter the ERG and friends asserting

The People vs Parliament

Parliament frustrating the will of the people.

Traitor Remain MPs for trying to keep Parliament to the original 2016 mandate.
Did they forget?

Did they accidentally misspeak?

As they ignored all the times Parliament's sovereignty over the people was used to keep Brexit alive?

Did they manage to ignore that as they threatened civil unrest, mob rule, the army on the street

As they asserted treachery?
Seems unlikely.
Were they lying about sovereignty and threatening civil unrest to intimidate us into their politically motivated ideological rewriting of the 2016 result?

I've seen those words written somewhere before.

Terrorists don't have beards and religious clothes anymore.
Hmm seems that quote didn't come out correctly. I don't particularly like this interpretation but it's accurate and the important point is it was used to justify Brexit 6 times before it was discarded to justify threats and menaces of mob rule
