    No I’m saying that the British government could pass primary legislation if it really wanted to and cancel the elections. Parliament is sovereign, but they just cancelled these elections in a really cack-handed way that forced them to backtrack (although they could in theory still take this route).

    They didn’t really have that choice for the EU elections.

      Agreed. But they didn’t. It’s absolutely the cack handed way they’ve gone about this which is troubling. Yup 👍🏼.
