Ok... No £350m for the NHS until we stop paying into EU coffers. Erdogan’s crackdown killed off Turkey EU bid. It was never about Parliament but about sovereignty of the British people. Brexit WILL boost the economy & enhance global trade. And, yes, it IS the will of the people.https://twitter.com/davidschneider/status/1115894191224233985 …

but the people cede power to parliament though? So we can express our outline wishes every few years, but between that, they're in charge. "Parliamentary sovereignty is a principle of the UK constitution. " https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/role/sovereignty/ … That's my understanding anyway.

Yes but they are elected on manifesto promises so voters know their views and what they intend to do when the get to parliament. If MPs break those promises, then voters can vote for alternative candidates who WILL do what they promise to do. Ultimate power lies with the voters.

That's a great theory and one I support. Will you let me know if you find any candidates that will do what they promise?

Sovereignty is lent to Parliament for five years and is returned to the electors on polling day.
