The court wasn't "dabbling" in politics but doing it's job of judicial review. The government was unable to give a reason for 5 weeks of total closure. Party conferences are covered by recess which allows parliament work to continue.

Parliament had the procedure of no confidence to block brexit. There was no law for the chicken supremes to review - so they just made up new law despite the fact parliament could have easily stopped Boris by a NCV. It was clear and unequivocal political dabbling

*sigh* you are not correct. Sorry. Constitutional experts including the Attorney General have not questioned the proprietary of what happened.

We live in a democracy and the people are supreme. Parliament had the necessary procedure to stop Boris if it had wanted. IT CHOSE NOT TO USE IT. They were too scared to take the POLITICAL action themselves and got some EU stooges in the court to do it for them

That's simply untrue. We live in a representative democracy and parliament is sovereign. The court ruled the government tried to stifle parliament by it's actions. It was stopped. Simple. Bye.

No we don't, we live in a democracy where we the people chose who governs. MPs are our agents who may act on our behalf so long as they act according to our wishes. They are not. They are acting unconstitutionally.

Since you fundamentaly misunderstand how our common law derived constitution works there is no point arguing further. Go educate yourself and try to see beyond your blinkered views. Oh and FYI 2016 wasn't legally binding. If you'd watched the AQ today you'd know that.

Why don't I ask the chicken supremes to rule whether the parliament that is subject to scrutiny by the people should now be forced to face that scutiny? Because the judges are totally biased and only want scrutiny when it helps them get their EU money.

FFS there will be an election when no deal is stopped. 2016 gave no one the right to screw this country by such stupidity. Our representatives are protecting us ALL. Even you. Just say thanks and move on.

Basically we have judges deciding that because a few MPs want something to happen and parliament didn't do something (call no confidence to block prorogue) that courts can now order PM to do what the parliament didn't vote to happen in the name of "parliament being supreme"

er...your arguments are deeply flawed and bare no relation to reality. I have no time to educate you and suspect it would be pearls before swine. To quote sooooooooo many of your fellow rabid brexiteers - you lost, get over it.

We certainly lost - we lost parliamentary and public oversight to a bunch of unelected EU paid judges.
