  • On June 23 2016, Britain voted on whether to stay or leave the EU in a referendum that divided the country's opinion.
    Since the decision was made to leave, has faced unprecedented challenges, with the COVID pandemic, the cost of living crisis and a confidence crisis with the government.
    Richard was joined by ERC Legal Advisory Group member Martin Howe KC to discuss the vote 7 years on from that historic day.

    There is a legal opinion that the UK could not re-join the EU because the UK doesn't have a written constitution which wasn't an issue when the UK joined the EEC

    • @uweinhamburg
      @uweinhamburg ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Right. But then the rules of the EU have developed since EEC times. The rules of today are different to the situation of 1973. The Copenhagen and the Maastricht treaties were only later.
      It would be tragic if such a big unit would not evolve..
      I'm not a lawyer but i'm not so 100% that EU rules demand a written constitution - at least it does not explicitly. It only says on the Copenhagen treaty
      'Membership requires that candidate country has achieved stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights, respect for and protection of minorities, the existence of a functioning market economy as well as the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the Union. Membership presupposes the candidate's ability to take on the obligations of membership including adherence to the aims of political, economic and monetary union.'
      Any legal text requires some interpretation, and it would be up to the ECJ to state that stability of institutions demands a written constitution.
      I try to write as objective as possible, but if you allow some private thoughts.
      If necessary or not, i guess a written constitution would do the UK good! If only because it would force the country to reflect the existing institutions and basic rules and to answer questions which pop up during each serious political debate.
      The role of the monarchy, the role of the house of Lord, the relation between the member countries and the central body, the role of England - the biggest member but still without a parliament.
      I'm an elderly German, and i know my history pretty well. The installation of the West-German constitution (which is still called Grundgesetz 'basic law' not constitution here, because back then nobody wanted to write a constitution ass long as the nation was divided) has been a total stroke of luck for the young democracy. The people who did design this set of rules did for a big part came out of Nazi prisons or camps or had been refugees in other countries and with this background they created a very balanced and fair system which for the biggest part remains unchanged since then.
      If necessary or not, i guess a written constitution would do the UK good! If only it would force people to think about the role of the UK after colonialism is over in a rapidly changing world.

      I'm not sure that the EU'd take us back so soon We're independent now so we can do what's necessary to rejoin the EU including a new constitution, just a matter of the will of the people.
      Or we could wait and see if the EU fails and then we can re-establish better co-operation and closer political ties to benefit the UK and European countries we have an agreement with. That won't require a referendum because we wouldn't be joining anything.

Electricity prices went through the roof and the price of gas is ridiculous. Prices at the pumps have gone up hugely, albeit, to be fair they have come down a bit again.
