  1. It's even worse than that. It's a clandestine attempt by the government to take power and giving them provisions to even be above the law. It's a testballon of Whitehall to look how far they can go to grab domestic powers away from the legislative and judiciary. However it's well hidden with the taint of Brexit in the hopes noone notices the issue and because of Brexit even welcoming it.

  2. This has nothing to do with this topic.

  3. It's expected even if this Bill passes both Houses in Parliament and getting royal assent that the Supreme Court will smash it because it's against constitutional laws in the UK allowing government to be above the law.

  4.  mad Rascal  It contains provisions that allows the government to be above the law. Parliament or not if they pass laws which break existing constitutional laws the courts will rule against it.

  5.  mad Rascal  The issue is they contest the Rule of Law itself allowing the government to be above the law. The Parliament would have to ammend the rule that noone is above the law. Do you really believe this will not raise some eyebrows? Only than they can pass the new bill without getting resistence by the courts.

  6. The UK will attack it with the Supreme Court on account of being Non-Constitutional and the EU will attack it with the ECJ if necesarry on accounts of breach of treaty.

  7.  @carolwright4970  Fair enough. It's law nevertheless. It's domestic law because there is a Bill for it and it's international law because there is a binding agreement with the EU.

  8.  Anthony Burke  Wrong. The ECJ has jurisdiction for 4 years even after transition end.

  9.  Anthony Burke  The Withdrawal Agreement is not ending in 4 months, despite what Brexit media was telling you. Only one tiny part of it is ending, the transition period. However there is a provision that any legal disputes now occuring during the transition period remains in the ECJ jurisdiction for at least 4 years. So even if the transition period is ending. The ECJ will continue to handle disputes occuring THIS year and breaches of the Withdrawal Agreement itself indefinitly.

  10. Immigration has nothing to do with it. And Freedom of Movement is over anyway in less than 4 months. Doesn't matter really. Non-EU immigration has exploded in the meanwhile so the only thing which changes are there will be other immigrants not from the EU.
