Parliament theoretically has unlimited power, practically I think this stops short of reintroducing actual slavery. Lawyers would be busy arguing in international courts; but hopefully 50℅ of the electorate might actually bother to vote.
(Obviously the MP for Clacton has the power to talk sturnly to someone with actual power in the councel over the bin collection schedule; the is no plausable way to deliver any of their pledges)
International courts? Who cares about those?
North Korea? China? Russia? Israel? Gaza? Iran? The USA?
What’s are international courts going to do about it? Gaol Britain? Apply sanctions?
if we want to be anal, UK cares a bit because of the GFA, North Ireland peace agreements. An international agreement is a part of those & also it's very important to the UK for various reasons, some even characterize it as de-facto a part of the UK's constitution. And it binds the UK to the ECHR.
What is 50c/o? That “℅” is not a percent sign.
It appears to be a high percentage of one though.
