I agree completely we can repeal that legislation. But whilst that legislation is active we cede those powers of supremacy in areas of government responsibility. The only course of action parliament can take to gain spremacy in all areas of government is to repeal that act.

If there is a route that can be taken where we can ignore them, then they don't have the final say, but don't take my word for it, take it up with Parliament, because it isn't me saying it, I am merely repeating what Parliament and Professor Duggan are saying.

What about NATO? Is that situation not exactly the same?

If our democratically elected government through parliament decide to pool sovereignty with other nations on certain matters what's the problem?

If it became an issue then I'm sure any Act would be repealed in short order. We can do that - the UK is sovereign and we're not ruled from Brussels - that's hyperbole.

It's similar I'll grant you that, I'd say I'm not an entrenched leaver I was probably 51%-49%. It's a different organisation with a different mechnaism. The EU legislating for it's single market touches so many areas of government policy that it does become the supreme power over many areas of government policy. Is that not true?

I suppose you could call it delegated legislation?

The practice of delegated legislation has been in existence for a long time .For example “After 1689 the annual mutiny acts delegated power to the crown to make regulations for the better government of the army.
