What hypocrites you two are. Of course it's the British people who are SUPPOSED to be sovereign, but politicians of all Parties have made sure, in their own interests, that this is a facade:
"Although it is desirable that members of the public feel influential, the ordinary citizen cannot be permitted to have much actual influence." A.I.Abramovitz in The Civic Culture Revisited', Almond and Verba, Sage 1980, in line with many other academic advisors.
Surely even a non-clever lawyer can see (possibly, of course, with approval) that we do not have government of the people by the people, nor even the nearest approach to it that I know of, the direct and referendary government the Swiss people enjoy, which keeps them out of the EU while enjoying most of its benefits, a status UK governments never seem to have thought worth aiming for even at the most propitious moments.
