During the referendum campaign, one of arguments put forward by by the Leave campaign was that a vote to leave the E.U., would return sovereignty to parliament.

So it was with no little wonderment that I greeted Teresa Mays statement in Downing Street tonight, when she announced she was asking the EU. for an extension to enable her to get her Brexit deal through, and asserted that the public were sick of arcane procedural rules in parliament, which were used to prevent a third meaningful vote. On a deal that had been comprehensively defeated twice by parliament. That deal. Defeated in the parliament that was going to get its sovereignty back because of a leave vote. That one.
