Current Affairs EU In or Out

No... Labour got taken to court for this in 1999 by somebody claiming manifestos were legally binding. They aren't.

R (Wheeler) v Office of the Prime Minister

When you realize the party that won the GE is not sticking to its manifesto, do you think there should be another election within the four years?

Its kinda more accurate to ask would a party that promised tons of nice things, but when in office discovered most were near impossible to deliver, think its a good idea to just carry on regardless?

So what's the point of a manifesto?

It's a declaration of intent.

Corbyn on his feet, basically defending himself from Labour MP’s....

Generalised waffle from him.

At least the DUP and other parties are putting forward specific points and references to the document detail. Corbyn could be talking about anything really and doesn’t give any indication that he may have read it......

You mean like the effects of leaving the EU?

You mean like the effects of leaving the EU?

Exactly.

It's not a short-term hit though, is it? Rees Mogg has been on record saying that it will take 50 years to recover from, which whilst you might reasonably take with a large pinch of salt, you must also accept that if he thinks that, then he's proceeding with that logic guiding him. ie, he's doing something that he actively believes will harm the British economy for a generation.

Re the LSE report, it suggests that economic performance could be much higher if it were not for Brexit, due in large part to industry either not investing in Britain, or British industry witholding investment because of the inherent uncertainty around our future status in the world. This is having an impact on productivity that is already lower than it should be, which undermines economic performance.

Industry will always hold back due to uncertainty, but once Industry knows or understands the landscape will take the necessary decisions. This current indecision within Parliament creates the uncertainty.....

It's a declaration of intent.

No, it's bribery, just like Cameron's pledge to hold a Referendum. At least he had the decency to hold it, if not the backbone to follow it through to the result's implementation. But hey, it made for a good chapter in his autobiography.

Industry has been pretty clear that it would rather Brexit didn't take place.

 

[Walken]

....and by doing so they will continue to ‘appeal to the few and not the many’. It’s such a short-sighted approach, they need to attract Tory voters not pander to the Momentum Lefties who will vote for them anyway.

ignore their core values and sell out, good stuff

 

[TyphooToffee]

Exactly.

No, not exactly. Exactly is we leave the EU first.

Depends on the Industry Bruce...the Fishing Industry would not agree with you....

 

[TyphooToffee]

Yeah.

I'm surprised that you are so informed yet can't post a reply without seeing what a fool it makes you look. But at least you didn't say 'Exactly'

Parliament is Sovereign, a government could campaign on any number of things it wants to and be elected to implement them, but ultimately Parliament decides if it wants to accept them.
