Democracy.


It strikes me as odd:

We elect a government that promised us an in/out referendum on the EU.
The goverment puts a referendum bill to parliament which is passed by a majority of 6 to 1.
We then have a clear cut refendum with no ifs or buts. Leave or remain in the EU.
Leave wins by a clear majority.
8 supreme court judges tell us that the decision is not democratic.

Confused?
