Flecc, I am puzzled by the current legality. Presumably some kind of resolution must be passed to change the agreed date of 29 to some other date. Tommie kindly produced the relevent section of the withdrawal act stating that 29 th was the date, but allowing a Crown Minister to alter it. It surely cannot be left untouched?.
Fingers, you are either terminally stupid or are feigning it. Even I, an outsider can appreciate the difference between the British Parliament and others. The British parliament is the supreme law making body in the UK and cannot be bound by anything ..not even the contradictory laws and precedences they might pass. The Brexit debacle and referenda was advisory only, irrespective of any statements by even Prime Ministers . .....Because Parliament is supreme.
They're processing that in the HoC next Wednesday
Actually it was not just flecc. I too forecast Mays deal would get accepted
The promise to honour the vote had no legal force, so the result was not binding. In our constitution the public cannot rule over parliament so every opinion of the public isn't binding.
With the money that has been spent on no deal planning (4 billion), with the money that has been spent on hiring extra civil servants to replace the work that is currently done by the EU. With the lack of investment by businesses here and hence leading to reduces profits and so less tax revenues. With the reduces growth rate over the last three years due to Brexit and hence less tax take. With the money used to bribe the DUP (1 billion). With the Govt not having any bandwidth to tackle many problems which could help the country be more profitable.
Apparently last Friday while nobody was looking some toff from the Foreign Office or wherever, a certain Sir Tim Barrow, our man in Brussels, wrote a letter to the EU which formally agrees to Art.50 being extended, without first waiting for Parliament to approve the extension.
Actually Cameron made the promise to quit on the following Monday than refused to do it and quit,so much for honouring the vote.
We can avoid that by going anywhere via the RoI, since there won't be anyone on that border to stamp anything!
Just how will that work with respect to NI/RoI border? Nothing in your post suggests it would not apply to that border.
I have not a clue..............
You are correct in what you say. However, David Cameron clearly and unmistakably promised that the government would ask the people whether they wanted to remain in the EU or leave the EU. He further promised that the government would carry out the wishes of the people as indicated by the result of the referendum. There was no ambiguity or conditions attached. I appreciate and I fully understand that there is no legal obligation to honour the trust which the government asked people to extend to them. MPs approved the process by 544 votes for to 53 against, so they all fully understood what they were signing up to and backed it to the hilt.
I'm listening and always have an open mind, but you haven't posted anything that changes the reality of our constitution in this respect.
