The SNP are a puppet government who can hold a referendum on their own volition but Whitehall doesn't have to take any notice of it.
Apparently 6 Labour shadow ministers are threatening to resign over Starmer whipping Labour MPs to vote for Borises deal.
As you say, Boris is not going to leave and has no opposition in Labour.
The Brexit referundem didn't have to be taken any notice of by the UK government either. It wasn't legally binding. They choose to go along with the result though, which I guess is fair enough.
Ian Blackford said this evening in a point of order, in the House of Commons, that in the last referundem on Scottish independence, voters were told if they remained in the UK, they would remain in the EU. Alas with hindsight that isn't what has happened
So I guess they now want a second referundem due what they were told not turning out to be true in hindsight. If the future could have been forseen and told, then maybe people would have voted differently.
I see all the devolved governments didn't support the deal. If I recall correctly, and do correct me if I've got any of this wrong, the Scottish Parliament voted against the deal, the Northern Ireland Parliament recommended it not be approved and the Welsh Parliament didn't like it but said they didn't have powers to do anything.
I enjoyed watching the Royal assent announcements late into the night as it's a bit of history. Where were you when the Royal assent was announced? I worked as a poll clerk on the day of the election, helping to enable people to cast their vote and here we are 4 and half years later. The country is still divided on these matters to some extent or other.
I have good friends, who whilst being good friends, have opposing views on this natter and that won't change, even if they remain good friends.
I won't be listening to Big Ben at 11pm tomorrow though. To me that feels to much like gloating. I shall be watching Austrian TV instead. Dinner for One followed by the bells of St Stephen's and then the traditional broadcast of the Blue Danub Waltz. I will be watching UK TV at midnight though.
When the city Hall resumes I think they should erract a new flag. On that flag will be a map of the European Continent. We may have left the EU but we will never leave the EC. Well not for a very long time if ever.
