Brexit win - 11 threads into one

No, they state that EU law has supremacy over UK law, not over UK Parliament. That supremacy over UK law derives from UK Parliament, so UK Parliament can remove it through an Act of repeal for instance.

Do you understand now?

I understood all along. Try reading the next paragraph

Given the doctrine of Parliamentary sovereignty in the UK, meaning that there are no limits on what Acts can be passed or removed, it might be possible for Parliament to contradict EU laws. But this would seem incompatible with continued membership of the EU.

The result of us arguing an EU law would be us penalised by Brussels. We could technically decide to invade the EU parliament and put all the politicians on trial for corruption but I'm guessing other organisations would penalise us.

Would you jump off a cliff if they asked you to, boy?

I personally wouldn't, but if the polls are to be believed, slightly over half of the Electorate would.

Which the UK Parliament can choose to leave at any point, reasserting the supremacy of UK law.

Indeed.

And the mechanism for this would be enabled by Parliament asserting its supremacy with or without the consent of the EU.
