I can't think of a better place to get my information than the 'bill' itself, can you? The full 60 pages take a bit of wading through but more than half of it refers to devolved authorities (sc/wa/ni) and their powers under the bill. I can't find anything in the document that may provide a Carte-blanch power grab approach to any legislation changes. Everything has to be presented to parliament for approval, either by debate, or laying before both houses for quick approval. It's all out in the open. Have a look, if you like?
You're absolutely correct, DA, the day of brexit hasn't happened yet. When the day 'does' arrive, I can honestly say it will be a million miles closer to what we wanted than what you predicted. Or are you still in denial?
Yep, and the unfortunate blighters that live on denial should all be invited to europe so some of us can live on denial. Bring sand from the Sahara though, many here have a good use for that.
There's suspicion why it's most of the remainer MPs who are hysterically arguing against the bill. I'm also suspicious as to why remainer MPs are so determined to overturn the will of the electorate, the very people who voted them in.
I think that most 'Leave' and 'Remain' MPs are fulfilling the will of their constituency electorate. And that's why both the Tory and Labour parties are so divided on this issue. Add to that each MP's personal opinion on Brexit, and you get what we see now. Messy, isn't it?
I think you're just making stuff up. All Conservatives voted in favour of the bill. All (bar 7) Labour members voted against. Hardly any indication that they're fulfilling the wishes of their constituents, or that both parties are divided. Is it?
Good point, I dont believe all conservative MP's constituences voted for Brexit, nor did some Conservative MP's support it. Just following the party line then, not their beliefs or those that they represent.
It's not really about their own beliefs or that of a majority in their constituency anymore. We are leaving the EU, article 50 was debated and agreed on. This bill is to transfer all current EU legislation into our own statute, so it can be amended or dropped as and when needed to make it applicable to the UK. The EU(w) Bill will be passed, those who are against it are merely trying to delay the inevitable, for party political reasons.
It's clear that, no matter what newspaper one reads or whatever TV programme one watches, that remainer MPs see opposing the bill as another small obstacle to brexit, some may be genuinely miffed that they don't get a vote on everything, but not many.
It will still be passed, DA. Hope all you want that it will not be so, it will come out. You know this.
I'm hoping for a hard Brexit, all this "negotiating" is a waste of time, J P Junker and his associates are not trustworthy and we have much more to gain than lose if we tell them to go and jump into the river.
The second day of committee stage for the EU Withdrawal Bill again saw the government come under criticism - particularly on the protection of rights and environmental standards after Brexit - but again it saw off all amendments voted on.
