EU and parliamentry sovereignty
The TCA
Trade cooperation agreement between UK and EU
Outlines:
Fisheries agreements
Trade agreements
ECHR
EU and ECHR two different things
We are part of ECHR but not the european court of justice
If leave TCA may be forced to leave ECHR or other way around
Divergence of british and EU law
Choose not to diverge because will shock economy - so yes parliament has sovereignty
Choice stemmed from fact will shock economy so do not have parliamentry sovereignty
DIfficulties
EU is still UK's largest trading market
Divergence creates barriers to trade
CPTPP ditches environmental standards
Parliament vs Gov involvement
Parliament involvement
Forced gov to delay commitment to repeal EU laws that remain UK laws (Badenoch reason so many stayed)
2016-19 commons regularly stopped May's legislation and deal proposals
Minority government made very easy for backbenchers to have a voice in leaving the EU
Constrained by the DUP because of confidence and supply arrangement
Government involvement
2019 Johnson won huge in election
Made it much harder for backbenchers to go against so they didnt
Pledge to get brexit done so less backbencher revolts
Devolved assemblies
NI
Trade agreements in brexit deal conflicted with Good friday agreement about no restraints of trade of goods or people
May could not persuade EU to change their mind about putting barriers on trade between NI and Ireland
Parliament not fully sovereign
Cause of why May could not get deal through because of agreement with DUP
Windsor framework
Introduced stormant break
Allowed NI to veto any EU laws they wanted
Red and green paths
Scotland and Wales
2020 introduced internal market act
Proposed that there are no internal barriers to trade to prevent a trade war - cannot discriminate between goods from other parts of the UK
Scotland and Wales concern it was a power grab by westminster
Scotland concerns after Devo-max
Parl sovereinty and 4 freedoms
More control over immigration and who comes in and out of countries
More control over trade agreements
Increased trade with India and USA
