Teresa May tried to ride rough shod over Parliament and democracy and rightly had her wings clipped by the High Court because she was acting illegally. If the Tories wanted a binding referendum that didn't require Parliament to vote on accepting it, they should have put it in the legislation that grated the referendum. Governments have to act within the law otherwise we might as well have anarchy.This government's entire handling of Brexit has been shambolic and this is just another example of the chaos they have created.</blockquote>
