What does the Supreme Court’s ruling mean for British Parliamentary sovereignty?

For decades, EU affairs attracted little attention in the House of Commons and pro-EU MPs did too little to debunk the myths about the EU that eurosceptics spread. Now, the prospect of Brexit is giving the elected representatives of the British people another chance to contribute to shaping Britain’s relationship with the EU. Theresa May, who in her Brexit speech stressed that what distinguished the UK from the rest of the EU was “the principle of parliamentary sovereignty… the basis of our unwritten constitutional settlement” should be urging MPs on, not stonewalling them.
