There is a wierd paradox approaching where Mrs May after concluding a deal with the EU, is trying not to get this deal approved by Parliament.
The tragic irony is that a lot of Leave voters voted specifically "to take back control" as promoted by:
Quote:
1. Nigel Farage
“I believe in Britain. A Britain outside of the EU with an exciting future ahead of it. A proud, patriotic country that has control of its borders, represents itself on the world stage and makes its own laws in our own sovereign Parliament.”
2. Michael Gove
“I believe - as a matter of deep principle - in Parliamentary democracy. I believe that the laws which govern us all should be made by politicians accountable to the people. I believe that our membership of the European Union undermines that precious principle.”
3. Boris Johnson
“We have given so much to the world, in ideas and culture, but the most valuable British export and the one for which we are most famous is the one that is now increasingly in question: Parliamentary democracy – the way the people express their power.”
4. Daniel Hannan
“There are several ways to square the circle. For example, having taken back Parliamentary sovereignty, the UK could agree to continue with some of its existing programmes and obligations through bilateral treaties, either open-endedly or for a guaranteed period of time.”
5. Leave.EU
“Vote to leave the EU to ensure law-making power returns to our sovereign national Parliament.”

They stressed time and time again that the British Parliament must be sovereign ... except when it has the opportunity to assess the most important piece of legislation in 50+ years.
What times we live in
