Sommario/riassunto

'Parliamentary sovereignty is much talked about but rarely defined. In this major study Jim McConalogue examines different meanings of



parliamentary sovereignty in changing historical contexts, and explores how leaving the European Union might enable an older view of parliamentary sovereignty to be recovered. An important and timely intervention.' -Andrew Gamble, Professor of Politics, University of Sheffield, UK Adopting a political constitutionalist view of the British constitution, this book critically explores the history of legal and political thought on parliamentary sovereignty in the UK. It argues that EU membership strongly unsettled the historical precedents underpinning UK parliamentary sovereignty. Successive governments adopted practices which, although preserving fundamental legal rules, were at odds with past precedents. The author uses three key EU case studies - the financial transactions tax, freedom of movement of persons, and the workingtime directive - to illustrate that since 1973 the UK incorporated EU institutions which unsettled those precedents. The book further shows that the parliament's place since the referendum on Brexit in June 2016 and the scrutinising of the terms of the withdrawal agreement constitute an enhanced, new constitutional resettlement, and a realignment of parliament with the historical precedent of consent and its sovereignty Jim McConalogue is a former senior parliamentary advisor to an MP in the House of Commons.
