So the UK Govt. won't agree not to break the law. Well that's 'carte blanche' for the rest of us ! #chaos

E.g. would you commit to obey every law, before you knew what it was?
What if the next law passed was people with K. In their name would be castrated by a hungry pig?

I don't agree that I can't steal from people, so that law doesn't apply to me ? Tbf he looked distinctly uncomfortable when he heard the crap coming out of his own mouth.

He was asked an impossible question.
Do you agree to be bound by something you have no idea what will be.

I think he knows what the legislation will be, we all do. No Brexit without a deal. Regardless, the law is the law or you can't expect anyone else to respect the law.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
It's hardly reasonable to say it's an "impossible" question. The law is the law. If they want to challenge the law there's a process for that. If they want to repeal or amend it there's a process too.
The idea of going renegade and ignoring it isn't an impossible question.

Bloody hell, if you don’t know what the law will be, what the actual statute is. How can you have an opinion on it?
Have you all lost your minds?

Nobody said anyone was going to ignore it. How can anyone commit to something that does not exist.

You either agree with the rule of law or you don't. That's hardly a matter of losing one's mind.

He could have said the Government would seek to use every available avenue to challenge it.

Why would he seek to challenge it, when it doesn’t yet exist?

Further to what we were discussing the other day, politicians prefer not to box themselves into corners or make promises circumstances may require them to break. They especially don’t like committing to do or not to do something based on something that hasn’t happened and may not happen. That makes them a hostage to fortune. Marr knew he wouldn’t get a commitment out of Gove when he asked the question. That was quite possibly why he asked it; Minister refuses to rule out lawbreaking is a nice headline for the final Sunday of the silly season. And this year’s has been especially silly.
Of course the government isn’t going to intentionally break the law. But you can bet they will identify every loophole in what will be very rushed and cobbled together legislation and will exploit them, ostensibly in good faith, yet always aware that a judge may rule their actions unlawful at some later point.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
Latest move to keep rebels in line just announced:
Quote:
Tory MPs who support attempts to block a no-deal Brexit will have the party whip withdrawn and barred from standing as Conservative candidates at the next general election.
The dramatic threat to potential rebels is being issued by Tory whips ahead of a critical week in parliament for Boris Johnson's Brexit plans.

I wonder if it will be retroactive, so the ERG Tory MPs who defied the Whip will also be de-selected?
