Funny that old word, Democratic, comes up time after time. Wales as a whole Voted to LEAVE the EU but our Labour Run Welsh Assembly know better. Mr Drakeford Democracy personified !!!!
First comment :
Did you know that it was under Mr Blair's Labour Government that this "Supreme court" was set up and filled with Left Leaning Liberal Judges. I bet nearly all 11 or Majority voted to Remain.
Second Comment:
Suspending Parliament.
As we Know the first Court ruling said that it was not a Judicial Matter but a political matter and was dismissed.
The Scottish Judges Ruled that it was Illegal.
Unless I am misreading it, Today's Ruling states that Mr Johnson, Suspended Parliament for the reason to stiffle debate on Brexit. As in any normal court, where is the evidence that Mr Johnson was thinking that? Surely any court works on an Evidence based ruling and not what may or may not have been going on in someones mind ?
Yes you are misreading big time.Today's ruling had nothing to do with Brexit at all and wasn't considered at all during this hearing.A queens speech takes about 4 days to organise not 5 weeks and is not a reason to suspend parliament.
Judges actually said suspension was to inhibit or stop Brexit debate is that not something to do with Brexit?
No they didn't.They made it very clear at the outset and again during the ruling that Brexit played no part in the decision making process.Anyway Boris can think himself lucky.The last fella to prorogue parliament had his head chopped off.![]()

Even if you are right that Blair “set up” this this left leaning Supreme Court, how many are still alive never mind sitting !!?? We’ve had a Tory government for years !!
In any event, are you really seriously saying that these judges who virtually all came through a privileged system of public school !! Are you seriously saying they are anything other than staunch Tories in general ?
Yes it is True that the Labour Government Under Prime Minister Blair, Set up the Supreme Court.
Yes, I would say that the majority of Judges have been through a public school system BUT that system along with state education and Universities since around the 1970's are dominated by liberal thinking "we know better than you" attitudes. You need look no further than today's school curriculum - no need for Gym, Art, Cookery, Humanities, etc. No Need for a well rounded education.
Really !!?? So that same private education system that spawned Rees Mogg, Boris, May, Farage, Cameron, etc. is dominated by "liberal thinking" educators !!??
They're not very good at educating if that's the case !!
I'm not sure that your argument is standing up to much scrutiny on that point although I would accept you are perfectly entitled to that view point !!

If you read my post it’s clearly not what I’m saying. The point is the nauseating hypocrisy of people like Abbott and Corbyn using the Public School system themselves then speaking out against it.

Take your pick out of this lot. Not a lot of crossover here:
Positioned in the centre ground of British politics, the Liberal Democrats ideologically draw upon both liberalism and more specifically a social form of that ideology which promotes equality of opportunity. Different factions have dominated the party at different points in its history, each with its own ideological bent, some leaning towards the centre-left and others the centre-right. The party calls for constitutional reform, including a transition from the first-past-the-post voting system to proportional representation. Emphasising stronger protections for civil liberties, the party promotes socially liberal approaches to issues like LGBT rights, drug liberalisation, education policy, and criminal justice. It favours a market-based economy supplemented with social welfare spending. The party is internationalist and pro-European, supporting a People's Vote for the continued UK membership of the European Union and greater European integration; it previously called for adoption of the euro currency. The Lib Dems have promoted further environmental protections and opposed certain UK military engagements like the Iraq War.

You can be liberal without being a member of the *liberal* democrats lol
Boris Johnson fits much of that criteria. Pro gay marriage, pro burka, individual freedom, loves mass immigration. The most racially diverse cabinet ever.
Why do you think Boris isn't a liberal? What about him is illiberal?
To my mind, Boris like many contemporary "one nation" *conservatives* could easily be in the Liberal Democrats. Which is why Nick Clegg formed a coalition with David Cameron over Gordon Brown.

Boris and Cameron are liberal, the fact they are now considered Conservative shows just how much the ground has crept towards the left. Fortunately this seems to be changing during this realignment.

if you think that Boris and Cameron are liberal I would suggest that you do a bit of digging on Tory values v. Liberal values

You'll be saying Rees-Mogg is a socialist next !!!!!
Dianne Abbototumus sent her spawn to private school is she still a socialist?
The point was being made about certain Tories being liberal. It's not just about their education/upbringing but also their values which is why I raised those individuals.
Are you saying that Corbyn or Abbots values are right of centre !!??
Boris, Cameron, Rees-Mogg are about as liberal as Thatcher
If you read my post it’s clearly not what I’m saying. The point is the nauseating hypocrisy of people like Abbott and Corbyn using the Public School system themselves then speaking out against it. Bit like the over privileged royals or film stars stepping off a Lear Jet then lecturing us ordinary people not to fly for our annual holiday.
I can see what you're saying but that wasn't what I was commenting on.
I was replying to a comment that says Boris and Cameron are liberals, that is clearly not correct whatever your definition of "Liberal" !!
Why isn't Boris a liberal?
Take your pick out of this lot. Not a lot of crossover here:
Positioned in the centre ground of British politics, the Liberal Democrats ideologically draw upon both liberalism and more specifically a social form of that ideology which promotes equality of opportunity. Different factions have dominated the party at different points in its history, each with its own ideological bent, some leaning towards the centre-left and others the centre-right. The party calls for constitutional reform, including a transition from the first-past-the-post voting system to proportional representation. Emphasising stronger protections for civil liberties, the party promotes socially liberal approaches to issues like LGBT rights, drug liberalisation, education policy, and criminal justice. It favours a market-based economy supplemented with social welfare spending. The party is internationalist and pro-European, supporting a People's Vote for the continued UK membership of the European Union and greater European integration; it previously called for adoption of the euro currency. The Lib Dems have promoted further environmental protections and opposed certain UK military engagements like the Iraq War.
Or do you need further examples
You can be liberal without being a member of the *liberal* democrats lol
Boris Johnson fits much of that criteria. Pro gay marriage, pro burka, individual freedom, loves mass immigration. The most racially diverse cabinet ever.
Why do you think Boris isn't a liberal? What about him is illiberal?
To my mind, Boris like many contemporary "one nation" *conservatives* could easily be in the Liberal Democrats. Which is why Nick Clegg formed a coalition with David Cameron over Gordon Brown.

I give up
So being " Pro gay marriage, pro burka, individual freedom, loves mass immigration" makes you a liberal above all the other policies ? They may be relatively close to the centre right compared to some of their colleagues but they are pretty far away from the centre or centre left !!
