Gammon Paradox

Someone that wants to keep their sovereignty yet rejects that very same sovereignty.

This occurs primarily when a Gammon that voted for a hard Brexit to get their sovereignty back, has a fit due to the law of the land (sovereignty) going against their wishes.

Or, when the act of a proroguement was deemed by a Gammon that it was not used for 'particular purpose' (i.e. Brexit), yet the Gammon insists the 'particular purpose' was affected by the deemed illegality of said proroguement.

"This is a prime example of a Gammon Paradox, as he insists the supreme court is the bad ones in all this, but the courts are part of our sovereign state."
