A brief summation of No 10's attempts to stay in the EU

[Himaginn]

Theresa May will repeal the 1972 European Communities Act in a move that will formally begin the process of making Britain’s Parliament sovereign once again.

Its begun. Happy days.
Thank you Nigel Farage.

The repeal of the 1972 Act will not take effect until the UK leaves the EU under Article 50.

It will also

The repeal bill will also end the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in the UK.

Why are we using bold font?
We'll loose another court of appeal.

She's feeling the need to give the impression of doing something.

Theresa May will repeal...

Haven't you heard of the Supremacy of Parliament?

The way it works, Mrs May can ask Parliament to repeal....

 

[Roger928]

The way it works

Is it?
So the referendum means nothing then?

Are you seriously telling me that in your opinion, the prime minister can repeal (or presumably pass) Acts of Parliament (please note the name) without Parliament doing it?

Have you been living in North Korea?

 

[Roger928]

However, in a move which will cheer Eurosceptics, The Telegraph has learned that Mrs May will invoke Article 50 without a vote in Parliament.

 

[JohnD]

Theresa May will repeal...

This statement is wrong.

Have you been living in North Korea?

You might have been, you seem to have lived everywhere else

Article 50 will be invoked before the end of March next year.

Of greater concern (?) to the EU will be the referendum result in Hungary

Of greater concern (?) to the EU will be the referendum result in Hungary

Nearly 98% of those who took part supported the government's call to reject the EU plan.
But only 43% of the electorate voted, short of the 50% required to be valid.

So 42% of the electorate voted in accordance with the Hungarian PM wishes. Opposition politicians urged their supporters to boycott the referendum.
Clearly the electorate decided by abstention. Yet the Hungarian PM declares it a victory for his policies.
Democracy in action?

If you don't vote, then you have no right to democracy..

Has anyone heard what's going on in Austria lately since they found that the Liberals rigged the vote recently to keep the anti immigration guy out? Is that Democracy Himaginn?

That's not valid - until Whips and abstaining is banned for MPs.

Until then, it is perfectly reasonable for voters to abstain.
