None of them care about your bruised EU egos or trick agreements. The world prefers UK, especially the US part of it. Don't rely on what comes out of the Democrats mouths. The tip of the iceberg for trade deals was only recently announced between the US and UK. More to come.

Rookiescot Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 16 minutes ago, herfiehandbag said: Wikipedia's summary on the Sewell Convention and the Scotland Act opens with this paragraph: "The Scotland Act 1998 devolved many issues relating to legislation for Scotland to the Scottish Parliament. The UK Parliament maintains parliamentary sovereignty and may legislate on any issue, with or without the permission of the devolved assemblies and parliaments." It goes on to point out that: "The convention under which the UK government uses legislative consent motions (such as the Sewell Convention) is not legally binding." I think that educates me sufficiently! OK then there is nothing to worry about is there? I wonder who edited that wiki ? What the Scotland act states is that all powers not reserved by Westminster are transferred to the Scottish parliament. Now some of those powers were already held by the EU. Still following? So when those powers were released from EU control they should be passed to the Scottish parliament. Westminster has not allowed that. It has grabbed those powers for itself. Thats strike number one. Indeed one of the things contained in the Internal market bill is that a committee in Westminster will decide which laws passed by the Government of Scotland will be allowed. Now you can bet your life that committee will be packed with Conservative MP's most if not all of whom will not be Scottish. Thats strike two. Thats the bit that breaks the act of union. It also allows Westminster to dictate spending in Scotland over things which are already devolved (Education, health that sort of stuff) and then send the Scottish Parliament a bill for that spending. So you can imagine Westminster spending a lot of money in Conservative constituencies and then telling the Scottish government they need to pay for it. Thats strike three. Now as you can see this is not going to sit well with the people of Scotland. So why is this stuff included in what was supposed to be a dispute with the EU? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't a clue, I wouldn't have the first idea how to go about that. That said, Wiki's statements are backed up by quotes from the various legislative sources, all there to read if you are that concerned. it seems pretty straightforward to me. Your interpretation seems pretty convoluted to me, and you claims about packed committees and what they may or may not do purely speculative. I will stick with the straightforward interpretations.

I wish what you say were true but it is not. Actually thats not right. I'm more than happy to see Westminster take a dump all over the constitutional arrangements of the UK. It makes my life easier. But if YOU had to speculate do you think it would make sense for that committee to be made up of English Conservative MP's or Scottish nationalist MP's? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really wish to speculate, other than to say that as the Conservative Party has a substantial majority I rather expect that would be reflected in the various committees which conduct the governments business. That is rather the way it works, no matter which party is in government. Anyway, with independence coming, and made so much easier by this(?), who is worried. As I have said before, I wish you would get on with it, I really do. Meanwhile, if the Scottish Government wish to indulge in taking the UK Government to court, well then I suppose the cry is "fill yer boots". If the case were to fail, would Scotland have to pay the costs? Edited October 1, 2020 by herfiehandbag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I dont understand is why these clauses in what was essentially a bill to counter a dispute with the EU were even included.

They may have possibly have been formulated to prevent the Scottish Government from colluding with the EU to undermine the UK's negotiations.

Popular Post robblok Posted October 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, billd766 said: IIRC there was a referendum which basically said do you want to leave or remain in the EU. The Leavers won that referendum. Then there was a party election which left the Conservatives still in power and Theresa May in charge who pormised that the UK would leave the EU and promptly wasted a couple of years in pointless negotiation and gave away many opportunities of proper negotiation. There was another internal election and Boris became PM. He then held a general election on the strength of the UK will leave the EU on 31 December 2019. Again the remainers lost as did the Labour party. We did leave on 31 December 2019 and told the EU that their would be a negotiation period after which the UK would have a negotiated agreement or leave without an agreement under WTO rules. After several years or playing with Theresa May successfully they have tried to do the same with Boris. Now at this late hour they have realised that when Boris won the election he wasn't going to play their game and the EU has realised that the clock is ticking against them,m. Lots of wishful thinking. The EU knows the UK is going to leave its a done deal. So the EU negotiated a break in good faith. Boris the same one who is in charge negotiated the treaty. Now he breaks it himself. No matter how hard you try to defend it internationally this just looks bad makes the Brits the laughingstock of the word. The leavers don't want to accept it as they still think the UK has power. It has not, they need the EU more then the EU needs them. Its time for the Brits to wake up and understand the days of the empire are gone and soon Scotland will be gone too. I perfectly accept the Brits are leaving, but they signed a deal and now broke it. That is just not done. So either Boris was sleeping when he negotiated the deal or he is just incompetent.

He has introduced a bill to Parliament that when passed will allow us to protect trading rights for NI if the EU decided to use an extreme interpretation of the WA to block trade. In that extreme circumstance it may be necessary to break international law. But if the EU are trustworthy it won't be necessary. As for your second comment, I understand your pain being on the losing side in the referendum, and then having salt rubbed in the wound with the landslide election result. Call it all fraud if that makes you feel better. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
