You gave a link to an article were some asshole is ranting calling her an obvious racist , because there are a lot people posting about this yet he provides no source to back up these claims . I agree , this whole story is very unusual . But you ' re already saying she sounds like some unhinged racist based on NO EVIDENCE other then the fact that her two captors are supposedly latino ? I ' m just going to say that you ' re obviously the real racist here . And you ' re obviously a sexist , women hating pyro ! <| sep |> I look at it as , its basically ten dollars a ship <| sep |> As we found out in 1832 , 1914 and in every single war of independence , the ability of parliament to do whatever it pleases is nothing but a confidence trick that it plays on the electorate . As people usually agree , it almost always gets away with it . In this situation , you have a clear principled challenge to the legitimacy of parliament in the form of the largest public vote in British political history . While Parliament can try and bluff , it is entirely possible that the electorate and public reject their efforts and Parliament realises very quickly that their position is a lot weaker than they originally thought and they may lose the trick .
