UK High Court's ruling on Brexit reiterates parliament's sovereigntyLONDON -- Sovereignty: it's a word that evokes so much power and passion, such patriotic zeal. In other words, the ruling defended parliamentary sovereignty. Many politicians and activist groups that had campaigned for the UK to leave the EU termed the court ruling a "betrayal," "power grab" or "dirty trick." The point of Brexit, according to "leave" campaigners, was to restore the integrity and legitimacy of the British parliament by giving it complete control over lawmaking. So why is the pro-Brexit crowd so upset about a ruling that reiterates the same message — that parliament is sovereign?
