The Human Rights Act, EVEL (to which foxhunting in England and Wales would not have applied, so the SNP could still have done this), and now hunting.
Is there anything that David Cameron would dare put to a Division of the House of Commons?
Oh, well, thank goodness that he won. Otherwise, we should have had a Parliament at the mercy of the opportunistic wrecking tactics of the SNP.
Only in Britain can a separatist party that got less than half the number of votes UKIP got, have 56 seats, and the whip hand over Westminster.
ReplyDeleteEnglish votes for English laws indeed. There's no stopping it now.
The SNP may have broken with it's own pledge not to vote on English-only matters, but this has worked out beautifully. Once again one has to ask-are they really trying to help Cameron?
The case for English votes for English laws has just been proved. There's no stopping it now.
Well, we are in Britain, so that's that.
DeleteEVEL would not have applied in this case. It has no possible application beyond the authorisation of forms of service for use in the Church of England. Bring it in, and you would see.
Foxes, hounds and horses run across the Border, so this would not even be a controversial case of the non-application of EVEL.
"Foxes and hounds run across borders".
ReplyDeleteBut hunting with more than two hounds is already legal in Scotland.
Yet the SNP just blocked the English from introducing the same law as Scotland.
So, yes, EVEL would apply in this case.
And it's certainly going to happen now.
I'm convinced this was a set-up.
EVEL would not have applied in this case. If it ever arrives, then you will see.
