Brian Equato Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 How? There is a legally binding agreement to include the latest deal in the next EU treaty. Cameron had a cast iron guarantee of a vote on the Lisbon treaty, don't trust a word this government says on the pro-EU agenda, some wiser heads than mine think it won't ultimately be enshrined in any future treaty, obviously time will tell but if it were thrown out does anyone think this government would protest and call another referendum with a reccomendation to leave, what do you think?

apelike Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 How? There is a legally binding agreement to include the latest deal in the next EU treaty. But there is no legally binding agreement that it will be passed and that's what the whole deal hinges on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 How? There is a legally binding agreement to include the latest deal in the next EU treaty. 'Legally binding' based on various things that may or may not happen occuring. Ie not remotely legaly binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Arthur Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Zamo's predictions about a far right wing revival have come to Germany today. I wouldn't be surprised to see a queue of other nations behind Cameron who want the same by the time the referendum comes. Merkel left wounded as Germans turn right Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, was given a bloody nose by voters who flocked to a new anti-immigration party in a backlash against her generous refugee policy during its first test at the ballot box. The populist hard-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party upended the political order by attracting greater support than expected with demands to close the borders. Mrs Merkel allowed 1.1 million migrants into the country last year. In one of the three states that held elections yesterday, a quarter of all voters backed the anti-immigrant party. In the other two states AfD — founded only three years ago — attracted between 12 and 15 per cent of the vote. Of the 347 seats up for grabs, the right-wing party was projected to take 66, more than doubling those that it holds in five other states. The insurgent party is unashamedly nationalistic and once proposed that migrants should be shot at the border as a last resort. It has been able to grow among voters looking for an alternative to Mrs Merkel’s “grand coalition” of the main centre-left and centre-right parties. Alexander Gauland, AfD deputy chairman, said: “The people who voted for us voted against this refugee policy. We have a very clear position on the refugee issue: we do not want to take in any refugees.” Edited March 14, 2016 by Eric Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I1L2T3 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 'Legally binding' based on various things that may or may not happen occuring. Ie not remotely legaly binding. It is actually. It is only through a highly unlikely and unprecedented technical decision by the ECJ that it will fail to make the next treaty. Yes, it would be good if it is in a treaty already but there is no time before the referendum. So you can stop lying now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeMaquis Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 No European laws or judgments have any legal effect in the UK unless UK says so. But the UK has said so and therefore it's legally binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Just listening to Boris on radio four, he was saying that EU rules ban tea bags being recycled. Which is non-sense, because UK and all guidance on recycling is the same, do not recycle food products that come into contact with meat and dairy products. Which would theoretically ban recycling tea bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for stating that so clearly Jeffrey, a lot of people have a lot of trouble understanding this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
