      Two points of clarity on the Benn Act: 1) The Act does not ‘surrender’ any power to Brussels. Parliament passed the law that stipulates 31/01/20 as the extension date, and Parliament retains a full veto over any alternative offer. Parliament is sovereign.

      No. The people are sovereign. You seem to have forgotten this.

      It's called Democracy. We can, after all, vote all of them out.

      And until you do the ones that are elected are sovereign. That's called representative democracy.

      Strictly speaking, the Sovereign is sovereign

      You may want to look at a thing called delegated powers. Fact is parliament is sovereign. Not really up for debate.

          Really? Ultimate power lies with those who vote in - or out - the lawmakers.

          Political power goes upwards from the electorate ( ‘aka’ The People’) to MPs etc. Sovereignty has come down from the monarch to the Lords and now to Parliament, but not got to the people... yet.
