Well, being one of those "people" of Holland, I can tell you what message she sends me: that democracy, thank Goodness, is far more resilient against populism than the populists hope it is.

I would actually have more respect for her if she was honest and said her case was all about wanting to stop Brexit - because it is.
The song and dance she is doing about her noble cause to protect democracy is really quite sickening.
It won't matter in the end - parliament will vote to trigger Article 50.
I also have a feeling Farage will be talking to Trump to put some pressure on - after all a country that ignores it's people will be seen as an enemy to democracy and should really be sanctioned (or at least put to the back of the queue with any trade deal)

Maybe she thinks she can carry on making obscene amounts of money off charities if we stay in the EU but might have to get a real job if we leave?
Or she could just be a rabid remainer full of hate .

The womens march will be just a poor imitation of what will happen if the MP's vote against triggering Article 50.
Millions will turn up in London. people who would never dream of protesting under any other circumstance will make the effort to have their voice heard loud and clear.

For your last paragraph, seeing as Trump didn't win the popular vote that would be ironic wouldn't it?
Although a lot of people on here don't like it and at least one person will somehow think I'm talking rubbish, one of the overriding reasons many claim they used to vote Leave was to protect parliamentary sovereignty, and then at the first chance to actually practice what they preach they complain about it.
This isn't about leaving or not leaving, it's about parliament being involved in the process of how we leave rather than just the government of the day.

I think most people understand the Trump popular vote argument (i..e not relevant). The fact of the matter is that Farage will be back in the game if he thinks that political and corporate elites are going to try to overturn the referendum result. He WILL call on his allies.
This is not just about article 50 either, it is about ensuring a hard BREXIT. Out means out.

No, to your argument about Trump talking about the people having spoken (in your dreamed up scenario) when the majority of Americans didn't vote for him is relevant to your comment. You don't have to like it, I don't have to care about that.
There wasn't a vote for hard v soft brexit, but now I guess you are now going to insist that's what everyone wanted. Johnson was very clear about how of course there would be free access to the EU - he made that point very, very clear. That does not equate to hard brexit so I'm not sure why you think no one would have been swayed by his argument.

In the old days betraying your own country in the interests of foreign powers was called treason. That sums up my views on this. Shame on these judges.
Hard Brexit. We leave, get out before the whole thing collapses, and that day is drawing ever closer.

I was responding to comments you made and the fact they were invalid, the fact your invalid comments are something you find laughable is interesting, clinically interesting.

That would be the old days only if you previously lived in a dictorship.
Fortunately we live in a functioning parliamentary democracy where having a different view from the government of the day is perfectly acceptable.
