Re: The Brexit; Are you in or out?

Re: The Brexit; Are you in or out?

The electorate were lied to in 1973 and 1975, and about every Common Market/EEC/EU treaty ever since. .... So, what's your point? :unsure:

Re: The Brexit; Are you in or out?

No. Yes.

Laws aren't passed that aren't closely vetted by government lawyers to ensure they are legally watertight. That is why it is so rare for the validity of a law to be challenged.

Re: The Brexit; Are you in or out?

That's a strange guess to make, considering you don't know me. :unsure:
It resulted from an Act of Parliament (one of the few, these days, not mandated by Brussels :rolleyes:), and it specified a...

Re: The Brexit; Are you in or out?

Re: The Brexit; Are you in or out?
