For some time, the Prime Minister has insisted , quite rightly in my opinion that the result of the referendum should be followed through and UK should leave the EU on 29 March next year. She felt that democracy should be respected and that is what the people voted for. Again I am in total agreement with this.
Today, she informs Parliament that the "meaningful vote " on her deal would not happen tomorrow as it would most likely be significantly rejected. How does this fit in with democracy (which originates from the Greek demos and kratia, the power of the people). Today we have the power of one person who can disregard democracy if they are going to lose.
