Just found this

On one level, the UK’s sovereign law making powers, centred on its Parliament, are challenged by its membership of the European Union, as the UK is constrained in its actions by the agreements it has entered into and laws made under the EU Treaties. These laws have primacy over the laws of the member states.

However, this pooling of sovereignty, and restriction on Parliament’s powers has been voluntarily entered into by the UK. Indeed, parliamentary sovereignty is seen still to apply as it is an Act of Parliament that gives EU law its force in the UK. Parliament could revoke that law – though that would leave the UK in breach of the terms of EU membership


So that means we can’t make our own laws without breaching the terms of our EU Membership? Yes?

Theresa May ****ed it up by creating ridiculous red lines for herself in the negotiations and refusing to compromise even after she lost her majority.

Imo we should at least have a second Referendum on what type of Brexit that we're gonna go for considering the Government has no idea what it wants to do going forward.

The problem I have with leaving the EU, is that the UK will be leaving a huge trading block with all the advantages that brings and the buying power, and trading independently with the USA, China, India, who will dictate the terms...it will not put the UK on the front foot far from it, so out of the frying pan into the fire it seems ... and as for making their own laws the government in power will make the laws.....the laws that were any good, like workers and disability rights were made by the EU......

[Cherie]

you told the 'government' what you wanted.. are they doing it? wait until they have complete control...

Ok Mock.

It's more than some, you're just being contrary for the sake of it here.

It's not a proper democracy if nearly half the country is against a massive change in how the country is run, and an extreme form of Brexit happens which nobody voted for, or are you gonna argue about that as well?

It's common sense what I'm saying here, it's a discussion that can't be resolved until either side has formed a bigger majority imo.

So you what would you do in this situation then? Because apparently pissing off over 48% of the country with Hard Brexit is okay by you then by the fact that my suggestion of how to do a second referendum is crazy to you I'm gathering.

It’s not 48% of the country, it’s 48% of the people who voted

It’s over half of the country

We’d manage whatever Brexit we get. We managed just fine before we were members of the EU

This kind of ignorance is honestly overwhelming, things have changed since then

Weren't the last time that we had no proper trade deal with any kind of European Union group was in the 60's? I mean I'm not really sure on that but I thought that it was a few decades ago.

[Cherie]

saying we managed before is like saying we should go back to black and white tv and 2 channels

You see I think it's all about perspective.

For me personally I have a family member that works in the Car Industry which is getting knocked about quite badly due to a likely no deal Brexit outcome.

It's personal information I know, but I don't want my family member potentially losing their job and countless other people possibly losing their jobs because we as a nation were too stubborn to come to a compromise, or are in a directionless state which leaves us all in a bad way.

[Glenn.]

Do you have Sky. We may as well have 2 channels as there’s nothing ever on
