Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

So, just who is in control of the country ?
I used to believe it was the government—— but that’s not so!
it would appear that the Supreme Court has the absolute power!
Er; isn’t there something in the MAGNA CARTA that states the people shall vote for who rules the country ?
Would appear the USA has a similar problem—— whatever happened to the majority vote—Freedom and all that sort of nonsense?

The United Kingdom has a doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty, so the Supreme Court is much more limited in its powers of judicial review than the constitutional or supreme courts of some other countries. It cannot overturn any primary legislation made by Parliament.
However, it can overturn secondary legislation if, for example, that legislation is found to be ultra vires to the powers in primary legislation allowing it to be made. Further, under section 4 of the Human Rights Act 1998, the Supreme Court, like some other courts in the United Kingdom, may make a declaration of incompatibility, indicating that it believes that the legislation subject to the declaration is incompatible with one of the rights in the European Convention on Human Rights.
Such a declaration can apply to primary or secondary legislation. The legislation is not overturned by the declaration, and neither Parliament nor the government is required to agree with any such declaration. However, if they do accept a declaration, ministers can exercise powers under section 10 of the Human Rights Act to amend the legislation by statutory instrument to remove the incompatibility or ask Parliament to amend the legislation.

Lawyers and legislators—— pirates and politicians left common sense behind when they left school!?

Sovereignty is a law unto itself Pilgrim—— more money there than anyone realises—— money is absolute power. Trump proves that point.
Queen has enough grunt to squash even the Supreme Court should the occasion arise!

Long hard wet day —- electric kept throwing the switch—- frustrating when you’re trying to cogitate.—— this one is quite a challenge — working on the glass and Gold Rolls Royce Silver Ghost— — why do I get myself involved in complicated concepts like this ? It achieves nothing—- and gets me ticking.
Well, I still have opinions—- memory’s sharp— keep promising not to get into arguments— controversial discussions—- debates etc ; Now that’s all very well—- until I make a statement that somebody does not agree with ! Then adds insulting remarks to boot !!! Am I supposed to bite the bullet and keep quiet——- I don’t think so—— .
