We all criticised the Tories when they created this law, that Parliament didn't have to have a say on trade deals.
And now Starmer is retaining this undemocratic law.

... A written Constitution with years of case law around it; Separation of Powers (Congress has the financial power, not the president; courts for enforcement); regular elections with complex electoral college to avoid populism.

Isn't this chart about how UK businesses have to sell part of their company to EU firms, so they can take over the part of the trade in Europe? Due to Brexit.
