Re: Brexit

It’s not a nugatory line. It’s a fact. There’s no provisions for our Parliament in 2015 to bind our Parliament today, or indeed our Parliament to bind the Parliament of 2023. I accept a change would need to be made to primary legislation, but that’s not difficult if there’s the will in Parliament.

Still at it over the “beastly” French and the Irish, I see. Raging capitalists want something in return for free trade deal shocker.

I’m not entering a debate on the age at which people can vote. I know equally ignorant people at all ages.

The principle of one Parliament not binding another doesn’t require a change of PM, or a general election. It creates distance in theory, but in practice it could be the exact same Parliament changing it’s mind.
