Analysis: The 400-year-old legal precedent that might break Brexit
The Monday ruling by John Bercow, speaker of the House of Commons, against allowing a third vote on Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal in its current form consumed the news cycle in Britain. By Adam Taylor Adam Taylor Foreign reporter who writes about a variety of subjects Email Bio Follow March 19 at 12:00 PM Britain’s 2016 vote to leave the European Union was supposed to be about imagining a new, independent future for the nation.
It is a turn of events that has shocked many in Europe. “I’ll concede that I wasn’t actively aware of the British Parliament’s rules of procedure from the 17th century, so I took note of this with interest yesterday,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday. “Erskine May” has been regularly updated, with 24 editions so far. A new edition is expected in May. In print form, the book is 1,097 pages and will cost you £439.99 in Parliament’s bookshop.
Britain’s Supreme Court decided in January 2017 that Parliament must have a “meaningful vote” on the terms of leaving the E.U., so parliamentary approval of May’s deal is vital. Phelips was viewed as close to the monarchy, Chafetz wrote on Twitter, so the 1604 decision “both forestalls the sort of dilatory tactics that keep the House from turning to other business and also makes it harder for the Crown to keep bullying members until they vote the way that it wants.”
