Supreme Court will not stop Brexit taking place

-

THE verdict delivered by the Supreme Court yesterday thrilled the anti-democratic Remoaners who brought the case. Yet despite this delirium the ruling – that Theresa May must get Parliament’s support before triggering Article 50 and beginning the process of taking us out of the EU – will not derail Brexit.

This result was widely expected and as such the Government is well prepared. Brexit Secretary David Davis has assured us that the necessary Bill will be tabled “within days” ensuring the Government is still on course to trigger Article 50 by the end of March.

When that legislatio­n makes its way to Parliament we can almost certainly rely on enough MPs being sensible and honourable enough to respect the referendum result.

The same goes for the House of Lords where peers, despite overwhelmi­ngly supporting the Brussels regime, will hopefully recognise the dangers of using their unelected positions to thwart the will of the people.

There will always be some vocal Remoaners who feel nothing but disdain for our democracy. However, the number of MPs willing to vote against Article 50 is dwindling. The likes of Nick Clegg and Tim Farron find themselves, as is so often the case, in a tiny minority.

And the Supreme Court delivered a further blow to these Remoaners yesterday when it said that the devolved administra­tions will not be allowed to prevent the process from taking place. This ends Nicola Sturgeon’s hopes of being able to use her position as Scottish First Minister to veto Theresa May’s Brexit plans.

The difficulti­es raised by this ruling are nothing more than bumps in the road. Brexit will be delivered.
