In the case of Brexit, the concept of rule of law has been manipulated by Remainers to frustrate the Brexit legal process. Although we had laws enacted to enable the referendum and give notice of withdrawal, Remainers abused existing laws and created new ones to try and prevent the democratically decided action for the UK. The judiciary were instrumental in the Remainers attempts to thwart the mandated government actions to bring about Brexit and the law for our Withdrawal from the EU. My respect for the judiciary in this case is nonexistent. For the judiciary generally, and their daily failure to adequately enforce the full weight of the law in our courts, my respect also continues to be pretty low. As for the Supreme Court, which is not supposed to be part of the Parliamentary process, but another separate and political construct of Tony Blair, well I hold that with nothing but contempt. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1177051/brexit-news-boris-johnson-supreme-court-prorogation-parliament-ruling-tony-blair-spt No need for the verbal diarrhea.

Forgetting that to boycott chlorinated chicken and hormone fed beef and other foods currently banned under EU food safety standards, such foods will have to be labelled as such! Will they need to have such labels? Not according to the government guidance Food and drink labelling changes from 1 January 2021.

That you believe that only shows that you have no knowledge or understanding of our constitution. Either that or you want to do away with it! As with all Parliamentary, common law democracies, the UK has three branches of government: the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. The executive comprises the Crown and the government, including the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers. The executive formulates and implements policy. The legislature, Parliament, comprises the Crown, the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The judiciary comprises the judges and other officers of the courts and tribunals of the three UK legal jurisdictions, overseen by the Supreme Court. Senior judicial appointments are made by the Crown on the advice of the Prime Minister, who receives recommendations from a selection commission. Some of the measures of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 were: placing a duty on government Ministers to uphold the independence of the judiciary, barring them from trying to influence judicial decisions through any special access to judges; reform of the post of Lord Chancellor, transferring the judicial functions of the post to the President of the Courts of England and Wales – a new title given to the Lord Chief Justice who is now responsible for the training, guidance and deployment of judges and representing the views of the judiciary of England and Wales to Parliament and Ministers; the establishment of an independent Supreme Court, separate from the House of Lords, with its own independent appointments system, staff, budget and building; the creation of an independent Judicial Appointments Commission, responsible for selecting candidates to recommend for judicial appointment to the Secretary of State for Justice. The Judicial Appointments Commission ensures that merit remains the sole criterion for appointment and that the appointments system is modern, open and transparent. You also display little or no, knowledge of the separation of the legislature and the judiciary. In cases before the courts judges are required to interpret legislation in line with the intention of Parliament. Judges can be influential in the way they interpret and apply legislation but they may not challenge the validity of an Act of Parliament. They may declare an Act of Parliament to be incompatible with the European Convention of Human Rights but may not strike it down for this reason. Although judges are responsible for the development of the common law, Parliament may legislate to overturn or modify the common law, thus overriding the judge made law. So, if you do understand all that; with what would you replace it? Edited October 11, 2020 by 7by7 Addendum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flags don't have constitutions. However, the United Kingdom does have a constitution; but not written in any one specific document called such. You should broaden your reading beyond QAnon; start with Britain's unwritten constitution. Quote Another characteristic of the unwritten constitution is the special significance of political customs known as ‘conventions’, which oil the wheels of the relationship between the ancient institutions of state. These are unwritten rules of constitutional practice, vital to our politics, the workings of government, but not committed into law or any written form at all. The very existence of the office of Prime Minister, our head of government, is purely conventional. So is the rule upon which he or she is appointed, being whoever commands the confidence of the House of Commons (the majority party leader, or head of a coalition of parties). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
