npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) Is this whole "not withstanding" not a dangerous precedent to set, given the Conservatives are likely to be out of power soon?
"Not withstanding UK law, the Conservative party are barred from standing in elections" ~Labour
"Not withstanding UK law, we declare independence" ~SNP/PC
It's a hell of a precedent to claim that ignoring laws is legal, surely?
(Not that I'm suggesting those parties would. But the Conservatives are giving them that option?)
