Beware The B O M

[Canary42]

Fresh from a nap on the Front Bench, the Brexit Opportunities Minister (BOM) proposes a shake-up for post-Brexit laws, much to the dismay of lawyer and business groups.

Most of them will be replaced by UK laws.

[Atheist]

What? New laws, or will we revert to old laws prior to EU?

[Old_Geezer]

It was always the intent to have our own laws. So no surprise, so far.

[Old_Geezer]

And hardly a cliff edge since one expects changes throughout the period from now until then. I suspect it's just the usual moans from those who don't want to do their job coping with possible change.

Yawn!

As usual, the Brexiteers couldn’t give a stuff about the problems faced by UK businesses as a result of Brexit.

[theshedman]

Many of the problems faced by UK business is because of EU rules which we wanted to get away from. They were always going to make it as hard as they possibly could for us daring to leave their club, but some will never see it that way and always blame us.

[Zacs-Master]

Which laws were, or are, these, Shedman?

[Zacs-Master]

Sorry, ‘rules’?

[theshedman]

The rules they use by the book for us even in cases where they could be relaxed if they wanted to. I always thought that all countries in the block had to agree to things and if just one of them objected then it didn't go through. Doesn't seem to be happening at the moment with Russian oil and gas. They could make things a bit easier if they wanted to but until that happens we have to put up with it.

[Zacs-Master]

Yeah, but which rules specifically?

The EU makes decisions, as follows:
simple majority (14 member states vote in favour)
qualified majority (55% of member states, representing at least 65% of the EU population, vote in favour)
unanimous vote (all votes are in favour)

[theshedman]

Not any specific ones Zacs but anything to make things harder for us when there is not really any need for it.
