Boris becomes a dictator as he deliberately circumvents the Sovereignty of Parliament.

@playstationnation1515 I don't see how the EU is relevant to this. But we do get more democracy being in the EU. Not only do we get to vote for the British government we also get to vote in the EU Parliament giving us real democratic power in how Europe wide decisions are made. Leaving the EU gives us, the voting people, less democracy. Obviously.

@paulies5407 "Parliament are trying to circumvent the leave vote" - Parliament has the absolute right to do so because Parliament is Sovereign. However they are not trying to circumvent the leave vote. No one voted to leave without a deal. We were told we would get a very good deal. That's what people voted for.

I think that would be "Brexit and bust".

@paulmarchant9231 None of that changes the fact that Parliament is Sovereign and referendums are advisory . Circumventing the Sovereignty of Parliament is a direct attack on British sovereignty itself. Brexiteers said "sovereignty" was something they wanted more of. But that seems to have been just another Brexiteer lie . Brexiters threw the withdrawal deal out THREE TIMES . If they could have just spent 2 years negotiating the future relationship to end the withdrawal agreement they would have. Why didn't they? Because nothing will change. The conditions preventing us agreeing a withdrawal deal will also prevent us agreeing to any future deal. The "deal" we were promised, that we voted for, will never happen. If you want to leave the EU then fine - accept the backstop. That will take us out of the EU immediately. It will also take us out of the Customs Union just as soon as the British government finds a way to do that without causing a war in Ireland. A return to violence in Ireland is something Parliament and decent human beings agree is a bad thing. In fact people who voted Leave who support no-deal are in the severe minority.

@hobnobmarine The term "mongoloid" when used to refer to anyone as a slur instead of its proper use as a term to talk about ethnicity is racist and offensive to the dignity of those with downs syndrome.

@swashknuckler "The worst predictions see prices rise by 10%" - Those are not the "worst" predictions. Those are expected. The worst predictions are far worse. But even if we just get 10% rise in prices, do you really think that won't be enough to make a lot of companies go bust? Many companies do not have that margin to play with. And 10% is optimistic in some areas. WTO will add tariffs in both directions - buying and selling. So raw materials go up 10% and we have to sell our end products 10% more expensive to cover tariffs amounting to a whopping 20% in some cases. And tariffs are only the half of it. Customs barriers and national quality standards checks need to be added because we don't pay those in the EU. And then you have the insurmountable fact that the quantity of goods being imported/exported to/from the EU has to drop because hard-borders are much slower than no border at all. So businesses will have to make permanent readjustments to where they get supplies from taking precious time that many businesses don't have. And businesses that rely on "just in time delivery" like fresh food chains will become non viable overnight. No one voted for this.

@swashknuckler "Nobody voted for what? Problems?" - No. I mean no one voted for no-deal. The leave campaign was adamant that we would have continued access to the Single Market. That's what we voted for - a better deal.
