Referendums should be held when the electorate are in the best possible position to make a judgment. David Davis Nov 2002
There is a proper role for referendums in constitutional change, but only if done properly. If it is not done properly, it can be a dangerous tool. The Chairman of the Public Administration Committee, who is no longer in the … Continue reading
CJEU Advocate General agrees with the Three Knights Opinion – UK can unilaterally revoke Art. 50
Last winter, following our successful challenge to the Government’s intention to use Royal Prerogative to trigger Article 50, we commissioned an opinion on whether an Article 50 notification could be unilaterally revoked. That opinion, now referred to as the Three … Continue reading
Neither Fish, Flesh nor Good Red Herring

This article in the Guardian quite rightly identifies that British nationals resident in EU27 countries and EU27 nationals resident in the UK are not having their fundamental citizenship rights properly assessed or protected in the exit treaty negotiations. This comes … Continue reading
Why protecting EU citizenship rights needs more than one approach.
I have been asked whether the work we are doing isn’t duplicating the “Amsterdam” challenge and the questions being asked of the CJEU. In fact the two issues are separate and reasonably distinct and both, for their own reasons, deserve … Continue reading
Forging ahead to secure accountability and protect rights
Fuelled by the generous donations of our supporters to our ‘core funding’ GoFundMe campaign, we have been preparing in earnest for the next stages of The People’s Challenge. Here’s a short update on what we and our lawyers have been … Continue reading

We must stand up for Parliament so Parliament can stand up for What is Best for the UK!
