Class War 2: Democracy for the Rich Only.

It seems that democracy is under a very real threat.

The Scottish court result is just one of a number of lawsuits brought by monied litigants against the Government.

Were the Government has failed in their legal duty and a judicial review is called and examines the evidence, then that's a fair use of the litigant's money.

But to use a court in a different legal system (in this case Scottish) with different rules just to return a spiteful judgement, is to me reprehensible. If you're hurt by losing, fuck off and cry into your lemonade (stay away from beer, you're not grown up enough top handle it).

But what we're seeing is a massive assault on democracy.

I'd be minded to allow Parliament it's objections to the government's position, if MPs had stayed in their original positions from the last election. But a significant number of MPs have taken a more fluid attitude to their accountability to voters. The majority that sat on a pro-Brexit ticket have defected to other parties or set up as independents, without triggering a local election and getting a mandate from their electorate on that new position. Instead they jumped ship, changed sides or parties (in some cases several times) willy-nilly and then claim a democratic mandate and accuse the government of suspending democracy… incredulous.

As far as I can see, we have a democratically elected government attempting to enact a democratically voted for decision by the people is under attack from wealthy litigants and rebellious undemocratic MPs.

The only way to solve this is a general election: let those that switched sides stand on their new found principles and see if their new position garners enough support to go back to Parliament and fight for their new position.

I personally doubt many, if any of those MPS would be returned in an election, hence their cowardly refusal to grant the government leave to hold one.

So where do we go from here? No idea other than the Boris non-payment/no-deal scenario when he meets the EU negotiating team.

Other than that, the only solution would be for MPs to start dying in mysterious or not-so-mysterious circumstances, so local bye-elections can be triggered and new hopefully pro-Brexit candidates elected to Parliament to replace the rebels.
