I don’t think it’s sad (at least for us). I’m very happy to live in a country where the laws are determined democratically rather than by 9 unelected political activists masquerading as judges.
That was in a rare, short period of minority government and was followed by a large legislative mandate. Government is rarely so divided and dysfunctional that the Court wields the kind of power it did then.
The UK Supreme Court was also visible uncomfortable with having to be involved in the process.
