who is your 'dream team' to take us through Brexit?

[seewhathappens]

I'm curious to hear from both sides, who people think is going to be able to lead the UK through Brexit now. I really don't know personally.
Are all leave voters backing Boris? Would you like Farage to be involved somehow?
How about if you voted to remain? Is there anyone you trust to take the reigns at this stage?

Erm....

Or..

Or

I would vote for Kermit (darn they don't let frogs in parliament). The Leave campaigners who led us into this mess should be landed with the responsibility to sort it out. They wanted "Leave", and once they have decided what "Leave " actually means, they should go and get the best deal possible. Whether or not that deal is actually what Leavers thought they were voting for, remains to be seen.

I was going to say Bartlett, CJ and Leo.
In reality no idea - they all seem as bad as each other. Although can someone please remove farage immediately before he starts www3?

Fan dabi dozi?

.

Dream team??!!! Err .. Aaa.. Ummmphh ..
Is there actually a Plan in Leavers' minds that this dream team would be working on?
Tell me the plan. I will tell you the team according to what your targets are. HTH.

Whoever will call a general election soonest.

you are making the usual confusion about the echr and the eu

The first thing to do is distinguish between two courts: the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).

The ECHR, which was indeed involved in the Abu Qatada case and some (but not all) of the cases about prisoners being allowed to vote, is not part of the EU.

Its job is to uphold the European Convention on Human Rights, which was drawn up after World War Two, partly thanks to Winston Churchill. The Convention is incorporated into UK law by the Human Rights Act (HRA).

The other court is the ECJ, which is an EU institution. Its job is to uphold EU law, including the right of free movement, and so it can rule on deportations.

of course the SNP have a plan because they are single mindedly for Scotland - NS is an unlikeable politician intent on destroying the United Kingdom for her own personal glory. She is not an MP thank goodness.

If the UK were to leave the EU, it would no longer be bound by rulings from the ECJ, but it would still be bound by the ECHR, unless it decided to leave that as well. - very important to distinguish between the two.

It's not I who is confused.

You have confused the ECHR - European Convention on Human Rights with the ECtHR - European Court of Human Rights. The former established the latter.

It is the Convention that May wanted to leave.

The ECHR is the treaty agreed by the Council of Europe, an organisation distinct from the EU, but the EU is bound by the ECHR according to the Lisbon Treaty.

Article 6.2 of the Lisbon Treaty states the EU itself will become a signatory of the ECHR, Article 6.3 binds the EU to abiding by the Convention’s principles.

So we can’t leave the ECHR unless we leave the EU.
