| The Maastricht Treaty had 23 days scrutiny in Parliament. Legal experts (yes I know) opine as follows: "But the 110 page Bill is not about those 110 pages, but about how 585 page withdrawal agreement is given effect in UK and the status of hundreds of 100s of other laws That simply cannot be done in a few days, whatever your views on Brexit in principle" - David Allen Green The analogy I have heard used is that the document is not a linear text running from A-Z but more like a computer program which branches off given differing variables that are applied. Basically expecting fundamental, generational change to be waved though in 3 days is insane. Also, you have to ask yourself, why do the government not want the bill thoroughly scrutinised? If it's as great a deal as Johnson suggests he should be proud of it surely, and happy for it to stand up to scrutiny? |
