Case law ECJ to revoke article 50 I haven't studied the decision in detail but a quick scan suggests that the article 50 notice is considered a declar...

I was replying to what you thought was a mistake. And perhaps as a contracts lawyer the obvious to me might be of interest to you but I assumed everyb...

Extending the deadline is not a unilateral action. That would have to be agreed. The only unilateral action available to the UK would be a revocation....

It seems to me my post was spot on: I'm not banking on the support of the EU for a delay at this point.

Given the deadline of March 29, I don't see how else it could work to have elections, a new government with new priorities, which will then negotiate ...

Sure. And for any government to have enough time to negotiate a new deal will require revocation of the article 50 notice. Works for me.

What basis do you have to think there's a better deal? The government has prioritised control of the UK borders, goods over services. If you want a be...

It's better than no deal.

Switzerland, Norway and Iceland are EFTA countries with strongly aligned laws with EU laws. They basically accept EU law (but can veto for themselves ...

The more I think about it the more likely I find it that the article 50 notice will be revoked if there's no deal to be had. At least to me that seems...

A military man with a blue collar background and liberal ideas and they're all set.

A moldy lettuce would be a compelling alternative from where I stand.

I think UK politicians will feel compelled to recognise the results of the first referendum and don't think that realistically their thinking will hav...

With the disclaimer that I'm not bwiddish but I'm certain that there's no bill passed dealing with it.

That was a bad choice of words on my part. I meant the reduction will happen and you can't win it back, it's like running a 400 m race having to run 1...

we're obviously talking Kelvin here.

The referendum is already contaminated by the results of the first thereby unnecessarily restricting the offered options. Remain still doesn't in any ...

Well, they do take their precedents and tradition seriously so making it up as they go isn't quite how it works. :wink: The problem for the UK is the ...

The UK has no Constitution except for the Magna Carta, which isn't what we normally understand as being a Constitution. Referenda do not have a regula...

I'd argue to revoke the article 50 notice. Just don't have brexit. A referendum the sort that they would probably have to resort to on short notice is...

Ah... more opinion with claims to facts and truth without offering... well, facts. I don't know anything about you except that your posts are devoid o...

Well this is good timing as well. Article on the preferendum

Sure. Deep down everyone is a murderer. :chin:

Frank, to clarify my earlier point about consequences be damned: if I were a politician in Parliament in the UK then I'd happily pursue a solution ign...

We've finally arrived. Your point was that according to you the will of the people was to leave. So it should be the will of the people to shoot the m...

Here's another analogy for you. If I hold a gun to your head and tell you to either shoot a kid or his mum and you shoot the mum does that make you a ...

face-palm. Now you're doubling down with a false analogy to boot.

Feeble denialism? :rofl: You just pull arguments out of your ass and call it logic and aren't even aware of the fallacy you keep repeating. This is qu...

Wrong. They don't want to leave because of x, y and z. They want x, y and z and leave was the only option offered on the ballot that got close. You're...

We can't protect ourselves from idiots once elected (it's expected the same voices win or in parliament in the end) . We can protect ourselves from ba...

Don't be ridiculous. We're still talking about the UK. Context matters.

I went over that. You can either accept the fact that it isn't the case that those who voted to leave in fact wanted to leave or not. It's not about "...

That goes without saying. Mostly it was an argument for anyone thinking the referendum was informative in the first place and use it to "uphold the wi...

What I said was that neither the lies (and as a consequence the failure of the opposition to being out the truth) nor "the will of the people", since ...

What was misplaced is thinking a will of the people can be distilled from the leave result, which you used as an argument to respect the vote. It's in...

what's nonsense is starting about legality for the first time while we were debating the ethics of it. The UK doesn't have a law requiring the governm...

I'll rephrase: read up on the research in the field. It's boring to talk to people so struggling with knowledge from the 80s.

I'm not going to argue about established facts. Referenda don't work meaningdully the way the leave vote was put. I explained the mechanism why, in pr...

Then you should look into the research more. These arguments cannot be repeated and underlined enough because otherwise we're doomed to repeat the sam...

What's clear from the above (again) is that referenda are terrible to gauge voter preferences. Some issues with it: 1. complex problems are reduced to...

Just to avoid confusion; I wasn't so much referring to the referendum per se - which has its flaws for sure - but how the government has pursued Brexi...

Two thumbs up. As a Dutchman I'm simply appalled by the amount of misinformation, lying and downright incompetence of the UK government in respect of ...

You are equating things. You talk about war and terrorists but combating terrorists is something else than war where conscripted soldiers fight each o...

I did read it and was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't proposing plain murder. You can guess when I have a problem with the death ...

From my reading of this: I thought it wasn't about you but about what it means to be responsible. If you could argue against his persuasive definition...

What part wasn't mature or polite?

Or they have a prior use exemption, which is my bigger worry. My patent is from October 2017, development takes about 2 years...

How's this for a rollercoaster. Last week my partner received a call for a potential investor for our fintech startup. Yesterday a large competitor un...

No, these have a Form. Justice, beauty and goodness in you and me and in society will always be shadows.

Just to nit-pick: Best (ariste) city. The ideal is in the realm of the forms. That depends on how you read it. It can be read as if there is no justic...
