The current deal is nothing more than an interim agreement that facilitates the beginning of negotiating a final settled agreement.
Dominic Raab has said of the deal that he negotiated – “Well, I’m not going to advocate staying in the EU but if you just presented me terms, this deal or EU membership – we’d effectively be bound by the same rules without a control or voice over them – yes, I think this would be even worse than that”
Dominic Raab has resigned over the deal he negotiated. That’s spectacular.
We are now on our third BREXIT secretary.
The 2014 Independence referendum was a legally binding referendum. Scotland voted NO so nothing happened. But if the result was YES we would have been legally bound by the result and Scotland would by now have become an Independent nation.
The 2016 EU referendum was a consultative referendum. In effect the government was asking the people their position. The result was leave. Parliament then voted to trigger article 50. As far as I am concerned Labour lost its bottle. Parliament was under no legal obligation to trigger article 50.
That allowed a date to be set and a deal to be negotiated.
As we are a representative democracy, our representatives, whom we have elected to represent us, must now vote on the deal. The supreme court has overruled May’s attempts to by pass this stage.
You cannot expect your representatives to vote through something which is clearly not in the interests of their constituents or the country as a whole. And everybody agrees this is a shit deal.
So one possible way forward is a second referendum. It would be May’s deal or ditch BREXIT. Parliament will never accept NO DEAL.
Making it legally binding, would mean it has to be acted on.
In effect you are passing the parliamentary vote to the people.
It would then be up to the people to decide if they really wish to force their elected representatives to embark on mission impossible.
