No it wasn't

"they do not provide any benefit to our country either."
I said -
"So the working time directive isn't a benefit?"
Mick said -
"we don't need to remain a member of the EU to keep"
I said -
"If we weren't part of the EU, we might have never had it to begin with."
You said -
"Ridiculous question, Mythica. We are just as capable of enacting laws that are good for us."
I said -
"If we are just as capable then why wasn't it already a law?"
You said -
"Are you seriously telling us that the UK is not able to pass legislation? Leaving the EU does not in itself remove it, nor does it mean we can't change it in the future."
I said -
"The working time directive is a positive to come from the EU. Nothing to do with us being able to pass legislation or not."
There is nothing ambiguous about that.
I never said parliament couldn't pass such a law. I said the working time directive was a benefit to come from the EU as Mick said the EU had no benefits. I asked a question that if we were capable then why wasn't it already a law which in itself is a good question as something like the working time directive is a valuable piece of law for workers. Something which we MIGHT not have if it wasn't for the EU.
