Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostThe great repeal act will easily get through, the problem will come when the government needs to get legislation through for its "Hard Brexit", because until then EU law remains British law. That could easily be thwarted, and then the UK will end up "half stuck" in the EU.

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostPrecisely what legislation is needed for "hard Brexit"? What is the mechanism by which we remain "stuck" at the end of A50? Again, you're confused about the extent of parliamentary power, because the default position is to exit on WTO terms.
It's pretty clear if at the end of 2 years the UK wasn't enacting "Hard Brexit" that an interim agreement would be struck to continue as before, maybe with a few restrictions. The only certain thing about article 50 is that the UK won't formally be a member.
The repeal act in it's current form, formally taking over EU law into British law means the default is effectively "Soft Brexit".

Hard Brexit will require changes to those laws, in particular the freedom of movement of EU citizens, and that requires a parliamentary majority.I'm alright JackComment

Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostYes but it also means that European law and British law will be identical at the point of exit and hence the UK will automatically fulfill all conditions to gain access to the single market.
