LETTERS Hypocrisy not democracy

ANTI-BREXIT campaigner Gina Miller and her coterie had their day in court and won.

She, James Libson and an assortment of Remain campaigners gleefully trumpeted the outcome, emphasising how the legal and democratic process has been upheld and reinforced by her challenge against the Government.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd and the Government have accepted the outcome and will act accordingly.

The Remainers who paraded in front of the cameras stated unequivocally that the Supreme Court ruling proves we have the best judicial system in the world, which is no doubt the envy of all other democracies.

They expect and demand that all of us get behind the decision and call any further challenges undemocratic and pointless.

The scale of this hypocrisy stinks. Since the referendum, the Remainers have constantly attacked the outcome, challenged its legitimacy and tried to thwart the majority’s wishes.

Now Gina Miller and her ilk demand that we get behind the 8-3 majority of the Supreme Court judges to back her concept of democracy but she and the losers in a legal and democratic process (the referendum) feel free to derail, frustrate and even overturn something they disagree with.

Hypocrisy, not democracy, has won the day.

DEREK ARNOTT, Taunton, Somerset. IS THE law the law or is it a matter of opinion? Eleven of the top judges in the UK have deliberated on the same subject and arrived at a split decision. How can this be correct? Something is either lawful or it isn’t.

Does this mean our laws are open to interpretation by the very experts who exist to implement them? Surely they should all come up with the same answer. E.J. WHITESIDE, Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancs. Now that the Government’s appeal has been lost and Parliament must decide on Brexit, it will be interesting to see how MPs act, particularly where the majority of their constituents voted to leave. I trust we’ll see a full list of how every individual MP votes.
