David...beg seriously to differ....one of the main goals in order to join is to mesh the incoming countries laws.....criminal, financial, trade, yes even down to divorce and marriage rights and etc...to match those values set by the in order for the incoming nations legal system to be able to accept and carry out those decisions made by the ECJ and the ECHR ....Originally Posted by davidbfpo
That is the reason for the 36 Block/Step process in joining...meaning as each part of the new member's laws and regulations are matched and changed...then onto the next Block...
WHY the idea was that say a mixed UK/Spanish marriage could be dissolved with the final decisions reflecting both Spanish and UK legal rights to protect the two individuals...down to portability of pensions and the acceptance of say pension earnings in one country being passed onto say the UK system and recognized in the UK and vice versa. e
THERE are estimates of upwards of 15-17 years in order to have the UK "reverse/rewrite/detangle" that "mountain".....remember it took almost that long for the UK to finally catch the curve and come up to EU legal standards...
AND yes the laws of the UK are in fact deeply meshed within EU laws and regulations....you will especially see that in the banking and finance sides of the UK...
YES you do not have a "Constitution as such" but major changes to anything in the UK legal and political system can in fact be changed by a 2/3rds vote... it just has to be so stated on the ballot thus binding for Parliament MPs.....
AND yes the leave vote was actually an advisory vote as it is not binding on Parliament as it is Parliament that has the final say not the PM nor the ruling party.
Secondly, if you pay close attention to the current mess....you have voted in the last election for a ruling party and their PM...now the ruling party has "lost" that PM who was elected.... .. thus so has your original vote disappeared...now you have that same ruling party deciding over the heads of those that originally voted and putting a new PM into place with the so called holding to 2020 as the next election.
So say a majority of the Tory/Labor if they crossed over voters do not like the choice...they are stuck and cannot say a thing until a sudden snap election...which ain't about to happen and the next scheduled vote is 2020.....
By some terms this is a coup as the ballot of each individual was not honored with the selection of the new PM and know one knows exactly just what his/her program is other than leave and trigger Article 50.
Then we see the constant sidestepping on the leave side saying well we will use the 52% as a leverage against the EU for a "better deal"...but the EU has openly stated....."you got the best deal before the vote" and that is now off the table.
Are we in fact now seeing with the utter confusion inside the Tories and Labor a complete breakdown of "parliamentary democracy"....
