Brexit - The UK referendum on leaving the EU - Reneging, reshmeging!

[The Warlord]

Lol the aud is crashing. Our housing market is on the brink.

AUD and GBR will probably fall at same rate. Ours going down also because US rates going up. Ours going down if anything.

 

[King Elvis]

May is going to lead them into disaster.

Just stop being so stubborn and have a second referendum. One not based on fantasy but on facts.

She’s ****ed either way, holding another referendum will be seen as betraying the first.

Common sense says to do it, but that’ll be the political perspective.

The Tories fear a Corbyn govt more than anything.

A second referendum and "betrayal" is only slightly less awful.

 

[Badesumofu]

This explains exactly why Britain's lack of a constitution is proving a major problem during Brexit.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/nov/30/why-britain-needs-written-constitution

It's right there in the title - 'written'. Brittan does have a Constitution, it's just that it's a different kind to Australia or the USA.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Different and inferior.

No, it has no constitution.

As I said, lots of various things add to act like one, but it does not have one.

You take shelter under a pile of boards and tiles. They aren't a house though.

She is ****. Cameron did the right thing and quit. She should too. But she wont cos she is selfish and will try to keep power even if it means burning the country down.

May's cricket hero is Boycott which explains so much, a lover of Compton or Gower wouldn't have allowed this s**t show.

Who the * have Geoff bloody Boycott as a hero? Boring as s**t cricketer, who then transcended that behind the mike

 

[The Speaker]

No, I'm right. There's a series of documents, agreements, common low, precedents etc that act as a sort of constitution, but there is not one like Australia or the US have.

It's a constitution, and it's written. It functions 'like a constitution' because it's a constitution.

And he beat his wife.

Link to the document to sort this out completely.

 

[The Speaker]

Who said it was one document?

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Who said it was one document?

link to the constitution then

 

[Bomberboyokay]

On the constitution, there's been a big ******* con by Leave nuts that it's about the people and Parliament taking back control. It's crap. The powers are going to the executive.

 

[raptalia]

Sky News are reporting that a no confidence motion in Teresa May is now likely and that the Government Whips have been told to cancel all engagements and return to London.

The game is afoot.

 

[NSWCROW]

In one of those UNCANNNNNYY moments , the 2 coolest things i've seen today involve both cats AND brexit.

You mean elected UK politicians rather than faceless EU bureaucrats.

Would you be happy for China and Japan to be responsible for a decent chunk of Australian law?

Unlike most modern states, Britain does not have a codified constitution but an unwritten one formed of Acts of Parliament, court judgments and conventions. Professor Robert Blackburn explains this system, including Magna Carta’s place within it, and asks whether the UK should now have a written constitution.

This is something oft-repeated, but it is plainly true that the British constitution is written.

Codified in a single document =/= written. Is the Magna Carta not written? Is the Bill of Rights not written? Is the Habeas Corpus Act not written? These are all parts of the British constitution.

I remember hearing a story that Boycott was batting so slowly in a game once that someone was sent in with the specific task of running him out, despite the fact that he was captain. Seems apt for some reason

I think the argument is that its not written as a single doc rather than as a collection of various things.

NB as for Habeus Corpus, Tony Blair wasnt too concerned about that (though eventually his indefinite detention got struck down)
