A vote for what?

[leedskier] 22/11/2016 08:35

Theresa May ought to abandon her Brexit challenge in the Supreme Court and put Article 50 to a vote, according to the former Conservative MP Zac Goldsmith, who is fighting the Richmond Park by-election as an independent.

Speaking to The Independent Mr Goldsmith said while it was “frustrating” not knowing the Government’s plans for leaving the EU he defended Theresa May for keeping her card close to her chest.

He added: “I think they should accept it and I think there should be a vote in Parliament. I’m pretty sure that vote would go through very easily – there’s very little opposition in voting for Article 50 so as far as I’m concerned the Prime Minister should do that and not spend months bickering with judges.”

Given the strength of commodities this morning -- everything seems to be higher -- the markets could move up today. If they do not it is because tomorrow it is the Autumn Statement.

This latest farce with regards to Brexit reminds me of a line in the eagles best hit
You can check out but you can never leave

Always wondered about the legal position of Brexit.
A referendum has its limitations.
Doubt whether it can overturn established law that quickly.
It took 40 years to get entangled with Europe.

Brexit could end up before European Court of Justice, EU's top judge says
There are “many, many ways” Britain’s departure from the EU could end up before the European Court of Justice, the president of the EU’s highest court has said, underlining the institution’s potentially pivotal role as Brexit unfolds.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Koen Lenaerts, Europe’s most senior judge, said that issues such as the treatment of Article 50, the legal path for a country to leave the bloc, “can be interpreted by our court like any other provision of union law

Given the present incumbent of the office of President is the most unpopular politician in France since Pétain, the election next year seems to be between Fillon and Marine Le Pen.

Interesting news from France overnight!



Nicolas Sarkozy on Sunday crashed out of the race to elect a Right-wing nominee for next year's presidential election in France, after François Fillon, a Thatcherite with a Welsh wife, came a spectacular first ahead of Alain Juppé.
