I think some of the rules for landing catches are dreadfully wasteful, leading to caught fish being thrown back dead. Not sure where I live in the country has much influence about that. I take it you think the fishing quotas are all splendid. … and I live 2 doors from a chippy.

The 1972 Act has been amended over the years to reflect changes within the EEC/EU etc. The authorisation for invoking Article 50 requirements within the 1972 Act could have been repealed within the 2015 Referendum Act had parliament wanted to, but that deliberately defined the referendum as advisory, thus keeping the authorisation by separate Act of Parliament in place. That was the choice of the UK parliament, it was not an EU issue.

What was the plan back in June 2016? Is everything going to that plan?

Re: the mood in your area
There wasn't any plan.
Cameron never thought for a minute that leave could possibly win. |

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a7655891.html The EU has effectively weaponised the Irish border, there has always been a border there for tax, currency and vat purposes, there is also a border in the Irish sea for checking the transmission of diseases and pests from Ireland to mainland, and vice versa. Vast majority of trade across the north south Irish border is repeat shipments of identical goods, making it ideal for trusted trader electronic control. Neither ROI or northern Ireland are in schengen area so people crossing border should not posed problem ( especially considering how far ireland is from French coast....).

You probably know this stuff in more depth than I do, so I'll bow. Miller Case paragraph here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...European_Union The Constitution of the United Kingdom is unwritten and it operates on convention and legal precedent: this question is without precedent and so the legal position was thought to be unclear. The Government argued that the use of prerogative powers to enact the referendum result was constitutionally proper and consistent with domestic law[46] whereas the opposing view was that prerogative powers could not be used to set aside rights previously established by Parliament.[47][48][49] Three distinct groups of citizens – one supported by crowd funding – brought a case before the High Court of England and Wales to challenge the government's interpretation of the law.[50] On 13 October 2016, the High Court commenced hearing opening arguments. The Government argued that it would be constitutionally impermissible for the court to make a declaration that it [Her Majesty's Government] could not lawfully issue such a notification. The government stated that such a declaration [by the Court] would trespass on proceedings in Parliament, as the Court had ruled previously[51] when rejecting a challenge to the validity of the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty after the passing of the European Union (Amendment) Act 2008 but without a referendum.[52][53] Opening the case for the Plaintiffs, Lord Pannick QC told the Court that the case "raises an issue of fundamental constitutional importance concerning the limits of the power of the Executive". He argued Mrs May could not use royal prerogative powers to remove rights established by the European Communities Act 1972, which made EU law part of UK law, as it was for Parliament to decide whether or not to maintain those statutory rights.[54] On 3 November 2016, the High Court ruled[55] in R (Miller) v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union that only Parliament could make the decision on when or indeed whether to invoke Article 50.[56] The Government's appeal to the Supreme Court took place on 5–8 December 2016.[57] On 24 January 2017, the Supreme Court upheld the decision of lower court by a majority of eight to three, declaring that the invocation of Article 50 could only come by an Act of Parliament.[58][59][60] The case was seen as having constitutional significance in deciding the scope of the royal prerogative in foreign affairs.[61] The Supreme Court also ruled that devolved legislatures in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have no legal right to veto the act.[62]

Re: the mood in your area
Funny thing is we were illegally taken into EEC by act of parliament in 1972, but the referendum was not held until 1975 and the question was ' should UK remain a member of the EEC'. Heath government took us in illegally by simple act of parliament when Heath knew a referendum was required, Harold Wilson belatedly held a referendum to try and 'legalise' the situation.

Re: the mood in your area
Well at least the last sentence of that article has come to fruition, so everyone is happy.
"An independent British (I take this as meaning UK) Parliament would simply have to pass one short Act of Parliament and give notice to the EU and we would be out of this accursed club."
