Yesterday three High Court judges ruled that the British Parliament should have a chance to reconsider Brexit. Today's news headlines show strong reactions to the court's involvement in a political process: "Enemies of the People", "We must get out of the EU", "Who do EU think you are", "Three judges versus the people" etc.
The court decision is dangerous, as it implies that the implementation of the peoples will, expressed in the referendum 23 June, might be blocked. The judges behind the court ruling are of course not neutral. According to the newspapers they seem to be establishment europhiles, grabbing the Brexit-ball and sending it to the pro EU majority in the Parliament.
This court ruling will not unite a divided people, but lead to further polarization and hatred of the EU. Nor is it a gift to the EU. On the contrary, it will reinforce the impression among many inhabitants of the member countries that the Union is undemocratic and that the popular will is subordinate to what the elite in Brussels believes.
