It's up to us to adopt those laws, and invariably we do because they are good laws. Although in the case of prisoner voting rights we haven't.
Once again though - no one has given me a specific law that they want repealing.

MPs are part of the democratic process, too.
Johnson's prime ministership - who has never faced an election as a party leader - is not.
The only silver lining I see in this horrible mess, is that it will probably deter the others from doing the same.

Would you class yourself as a bit more right-wing than on the left? And perhaps mix with others similar?
What do you think the 'unskilled' labour are doing in the UK? NHS, crop-pickers, jobs that others will not take (wages too low)?
Do you remember the fishing war with Iceland? We can't actually police our waters, so getting out of the EU will most likely put us in a worse situation than it already is.
Our legislation might actually be rather backward. Why so insistent on prisoners having no vote when the punishment they receive is being deprived of their liberty not being deprived of being human. And if you actually want to rehabilitate people rather than just show your rage at them (as in punish as much as we can), then what do you expect of them in the future if you treat them so. It seems to me that what they do in other European countries is rather more humane, and more forward thinking. Our age of criminal responsibility also reflects this compared with that in other countries.
Join more with the USA? How can that make us better, apart from being their lap-dog?
I think it is either your age or your political leanings that form your views (or both). The EU is and hardly has been at all perfect but it seems to me that cooperating with a larger group intent on becoming better together is a more worthwhile thing than insisting Britain can do it all alone - which it can but perhaps not as well as with others.
I voted to remain because overall I thought it a better choice.
Let's face it, Cameron cocked it up, not thinking that Leave would win. Corbyn aided and abetted this (dithering and fence-sitting), and nothing was done seriously to think about and put the appropriate options to the public. It has been a farce from the start, with most of the blame falling to the Tories although Corbyn has played his role beautifully - in helping to create the mess we are now in.
Pretty accurate
@Laika
Well I doubt we will be joining the same debating club.
PS. I hate politics.
Wrong. The monarchy in Britain is totally ceremonial with no real power.

Not to be that guy but why are you liking the posts of the Forum fascist when he goes on about supposed Freemasons and the Banking Elite infiltrating Parliament?
Do you seriously not realise who he means by that?
Seriously not?
You are agreeing with someone who wants to cleanse his country of aforementioned "infiltrators".
Seriously wtf.

I agreed with,
Not the first part.
I think someone in government should be held accountable for this mess.
Ich bin eine Frau.
Respekt, Bitte sehr
I just find it incomprehensible that anyone in government would put the E.U. before the U.K.
Then again, they do what makes money not what they value.
And btw I have

To say Banking elites and Freemasonry are harmful entities towards the common good

Not only that,
But my ancestors were Irish folks who fled the British imperialism of the 19th century.
Check out "A Modest Proposal".
There's a bit of schadenfreude in watching the Brits shove sharp objects up their imperialist bums.
That's what it looks to me like they're doing.
Oh well. Que sera, sera.
A small minority of Brits voted for something without knowing what it was. That leaves the EU holding all the cards, despite British delusions of grandeur. EU doesn't have to agree that whatever Boris thinks that they should, they're motivated to refuse any deal.
Because after October 31st, the EU membership can vote for anything they want. And Brits are stuck with the consequences. So I expect the EU to take care of EU members and screw the British every time is in their interests to do so.
Am I missing something?

I for one can hardly blame Queen Elizabeth II for not wanting to choose between the Prime Minister and the Parliament.
It would be good to be BoJo taken down a peg. But he is not worth of the Queen's sacrifice.
You sure have the right to say pretty much anything that you want.
Whether anyone will see any merit to your claims is an entirely separate matter.
Just that Boris Johnson and company are willing to sacrifice the hardly earned peace of the Good Friday Agreements in order to further their greed and vanity.
There are also considerations to be made about the lack of criteria in the actions of Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn, but I guess that matters little now.

Lightly seared on the reality grill.
You mean the current government? They are putting the issue of leaving the EU, come what may, on some arbitrary date, before the very existence of the UK. How long do you think Scotland and Northern Ireland are going to say after a no-deal?
I'm not bothered if they stay. They can leave if they want and I'd continue to support my country, England.

Make sense. I always thought Brexit was about Little Englanders. Not in my name. I want no part of Brexit England.
