Maybe but it was still a piss poor effort by the MP. This is the problem with arguing with democratic votes - once you start to do that you undermine the whole system which elected yourself. That is how you tie yourself up in knots.I don't think the Tories are really that worried about it. They hated Goldsmith anyway so are pleased to see the back of him - particularly after the Mayor campaign.
"Go back to your constituencies, and prepare for government!" (D Steel 1981). We all know how that ended up.
There is another by-election next week - will be interesting to see if the LibDems can win that one.

That will only happen if the judges treat the will of the majority voter in the UK with respect, If the judges choose to ignore that, they do so at the peril of the rule of law in the UK.
Why should anyone respect the law, if at any time an individual or small number of individuals, who were not happy with the result of a democratic vote, choose to just ignore it, or bend it to suit their point of view?
I realise that we are all now Constitutional law nouveau-scholars, but this post illustrates perfectly that you don't any the faintest understanding of what the rule of law is.Why should anyone respect the law, if at any time an individual or small number of individuals, who were not happy with the result of a democratic vote, choose to just ignore it, or bend it to suit their point of view?
You, of all posters here, must be especially seething at the DM's latest revelations about the bias of the SC judges. But why aren't you calling for the head of the traitorous AG on a platter. He - a campaigning Remainer - must surely have poisoned the Government's case from the inside. Is there really no noose for him?

JHB knows its a clear anti-brexit statement and she is taking brexiteer bed wetting to new levels. Her anger belies her realisation the tories are in big trouble now.
She only quotes remain about leaving the Single Market. How telling.
I see some striking similarities with your efforts on here
- Spit riddled attacks
- Quoting "only" what benefits your own viewpoint
Can you see how that might make you look a little two faced in terms of your comment.......

Fails to appreciate vote leave talked about the single market on their own web pages - now deleted.
This is not a campaign that deserves respect, and the finality of the vote is not beyond revisiting for that reason.
Her seat will be up again in 2020. When do the people get a say about the undeliverable lies of vote leave, so we can boot it out like any other democratically elected bent and fraudulent MP?
In true ///ajd fashion, she too ran away when the SM bullst was pointed out to her. Maybe like the Question Time guy, you should try and get JHB the sack too ?
You are welcome to form a political party when we have left the EU and spend 25 years of so campaigning to get back in, like the last guy did in trying to get out. Maybe it will take the same 40 years though to reverse ?

Regardless, the by election result is not a sign, as Verhofstadt et al claimed, that the UK is therefore willing to overturn the vote and now wants to Remain, and IDS was correct to tell him, Verhofstadt, to butt his nose out and immediately FRO.

They can't help it - they really can't. The fundamental issue is they are not used to been overruled - they are of course the "over-rulers" now when you had 40 years of being in control you aren't going to be happy about losing anyReason to vote leave number 6 - We have our own politicians with their noses in the trough - why do we need another layer above that also just skims cream off the top?
Not a single remain person I spoke to regarding this issue could debate that point without moving the conversation to how democratic the EU was - pulling the conversation back to the subject never worked - the waste of moving the parliament the size of the wages bill for Presidents (how many does a democracy need FFS) Council, Parliament and all the support services - the conversation went back to how Democratic the EU was.....
So in the end I debated that point - they found that frustrating too I think - can't be sure as they found excuses to move on.....

Spit riddled attack!
Is that what the delight in JHB's voice came across as to you?
To me it sounded like she had just read her notes, and was laughing at the impending car crash the interview was inevitably going to become, and she wasn't disappointed, it was f*cking hilarious.
If you want to see spit riddled, pop back to the recent QT thread and read some of your own comments, or many of the other Brexit related threads on here, no one quite does spit riddled/odious and snidey attacks to get close to those of your own!
The By-election was supposed to be about local issues and probably more importantly, Heathrow 3, but the Lib-Dems, specifically the weasel Farron,turned into it into a Brexit vote.
Unsurprisingly the local electorate who had voted massively to vote remain in the EU referendum, voted for the Lib-Dems, and we got a rerun of the EU referendum with the same result, shock horror!
Tories are worried you say, what/who about...Farron .........Corbyn , you're deluded if that's what you think!
I bet May had another Horlicks whilst plotting her next orienteering trip with Hubby in the Lake District, and chuckling whilst whispering in Philip's ear "I'm looking forward to tomorrow, Farron's going to wa*k himself into oblivion".
You seem upset that JHB only mentioned that the Remain campaign mentioned the single market, just for you, and if you've missed it, here it is again for the umpteenth time:
Johnson on the Marr show - 5th June -20 secs in
Gove on the Marr show - 8th June - 12 secs in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUI5A1Gd5D0
You mention the lies of the leave campaign, which are yet to be proven as such, whilst ignoring the lies of the remain campaign, which have been proven to be lies and quite spectacularly.
You want bent and fraudulent MP's booted out, thankfully:
We don't need to boot out the bent and fraudulent Cameron he did a runner, and did what he accused leave voters of being - quitters, so he quit
We don't need to boot out the bent and fraudulent Osborne, he got fired, shame it was verbally and not from a cannon!
Any other remain politicians you'd like to boot out because of the lies?
Crack on Fella.
How's Le Pen getting on by the way?
Renzi's on the ropes, and Hofer's gaining ground, looks like it will be a race to see who slams the door shut first, will the UK still be the first one wonders.
This will liven things up, thanks Turbobloke :
Faux outrage incoming

I love the wit there.
"Oh! I know!! I'll use a sinking ship as a metaphor for the EU, and I'll write 'debt' on the anchor, because debt is like an anchor...but will my readers understand it??"
Impressive stuff. Can we at least agree that Brexit camp has a very unsophisticated sense of humour?

A strong theme of sarcasm and self-deprecation, often with deadpan delivery, runs throughout British humour. Humour may be used to bury emotions in a way that seems insensitive to other cultures.
I have no doubt at all that the readership undestood it.
We have had a long history of cartoons being used to illustrate the politics of the time - I don't think many were ever sophisticated

If the a50 bill has already been drafted and Theresa May is now 'confident' that it will be voted through, why is she wasting our time and money fighting a case in the Supreme Court and paying the Attorney General to put forward an argument that the judges must consider the 'will of the people' when interpreting a narrow point of law?
Elysium said:
The argument that judges should not decide that Parliament should not be involved because they may not honour an advisory referendum is foolish. The fact that the Govt are now saying that it doesn't matter anyway takes us from the sublime to the ridiculous.
See previous comment.....So why all the nasty rabble rousing nonsense about the judges. Why not simply put together a cogent mature argument for the courts and treat the judiciary with a modicum of respect?
Why should anyone respect the law, if at any time an individual or small number of individuals, who were not happy with the result of a democratic vote, choose to just ignore it, or bend it to suit their point of view?
The referendum was advisory. It carries no legal status and the courts could not change this even if they wanted to.
It solely focused on either leaving or remaining in the EU. There has never been a vote, advisory or otherwise, on the authority of parliament of government to change the law by issuing an article 50 notice.
This case CANNOT stop Parliament from issuing an article 50 notice as it is sovereign. The Govt did not have to defend it and they certainly did not need to appeal.
There had been no barrier to them going to Parliament at any time in the last 5 months, but they have chosen not to. The people bringing this case have done us all a big favour because without it, May would have set us on a road towards an unlawful Brexit, which would have mired the UK in the courts for years to come.

The cartoonist has literally just written 'political correctness' on a shark.
Actually, analysing how badly done it is, is funnier than the cartoon.

I am inclined to agree although I think by bringing the case they have actually helped the Leave side. By doing so they will ensure the decision to trigger Article 50 will be difficult to challenge whereas otherwise I have no doubt some sort of challenge would have popped up down the road.Just read this.

This is the sort of nonsense we've come to expect from the higher levels of the EU. Quite aside from the fact ware still part of Europe and thus should be invited. WHY are they being so damn petty! Surely the EU machine should be swinging into top gear to try and stop us from leaving. I appreciate they don't want to be held to ransom for fear of other nations trying to get concessions. But like a divorce (which is what this is) you do need to TRY and make an agreement that will repair things and go forward.
And surely the Remain camp can't look at this stance by the idiots in Brussels and spin it positively??? Like a divorce they are screaming "I love you" whilst the other party is tossing their stuff out the door.
I voted Leave. And in the spirit of the naysayers "you dunno what you voted for" I do, but I guess I would be happy to stay if we could change "right to free movement" to something along the lines of "right to free labour" with the proviso you can only settle here if you have a job lined up ready from a UK firm. Probably wouldn't hurt to lower the fees to somewhere less than £100M a week. But as long as UK, Germany and France are propping it up, cant see that happening.
But IF a new better deal was offered to the UK. Then I could conceivable entertain a new vote. But it has to be more concrete, further reaching than the weak ste Dave came back with in February
