The more time a government spends attacking itself, the less time and energy the parasite has to attack its host. Its host, of course, is the private economy. With the United Kingdom’s High Court (itself part of the government) rejecting the other part of the government’s argument that Brexit does not need a parliamentary vote to pass, one branch of the UK government is now pitted against another. This is almost always a good thing for business.

Don’t be fooled into thinking this is some principled stance by Wise Justices in their Impartial Sagacious Interpretation of the Sacred Letter of the Law. That’s all nonsense. These laws are all fake artificial constructions anyway and it’s all political. They are interpreted however one wants to interpret them. I would bet the farm on margin that the people on that high court who ruled against the unilateral triggering of Article 50 all voted against Brexit. I am as close to 100% certain on that as anyone can be in a universe governed by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

Here’s the meat of the text of the ruling:

‘it has been established for hundreds of years that the Crown – i.e. the Government of the day – cannot by exercise of prerogative powers override legislation enacted by Parliament,’ and that ‘the Court expressly accepts the principal arguments of the claimants…[that]…the Government does not have power under the Crown’s prerogative to [trigger Article 50]’.
