I did not see Newsnight but if I get the vote again after the 15 year out of the country rule I would support either Tim Farron or someone like Keir Starmer, in fact anyone who would stay in or close to Europe rather than cosying up to an America controlled by Trump
Whatever happens I am European.
Keir Starmer nailed it on Newsnight last night (16.01.17), with an appropriate strategy to win in Parliament.
- Been pressing for a government plan before Article 50 is invoked.
- Will push amendments to government legislation.
- Will require government to come back and report to parliament during the 2 year negotiations.
- Will push for a vote in parliament before the end of the negotiating period.
- Parliament must have a grip on the entire process.
- Parliament must have a vote on the final deal before it is put to a vote in the European Parliament.
- Government must be accountable to parliament at every stage of the process, returning to a normal democratic process.
Crucially, what he left hanging in the air was that logically parliament would have to reject any final deal if it is deemed unacceptable.
Lobby MPs again and again. Let them know, the only acceptable deal, politically, economically and socially is to Remain.
Val says I had better check Malc feels the same!
