European Union (Withdrawal) Bill 2017-19 (Gibraltar)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No such legislation or legislative bill in fact currently exists either in the United Kingdom or in Gibraltar. An article created (for a topic) before the fact, it would seem; and it would also seem that the creator might not be British (as a Brit) or British (a Brit, from being a Gibraltarian), might perhaps have a somewhat imperfect proficiency and command of the English language, and might in fact have a limited grasp of how legislation is actually made in the respective legislatures, either in the United Kingdom or in Gibraltar, the actual legislative competence of the Gibraltar legislature (as the legislature of one of the British Overseas Territories (BOTs), as Gibraltar is), British (United Kingdom) law (especially in relation to the EC/EEC/EU/EEA or to the BOTs, in particular, the European Communities Act 1972), Gibraltar law, or the politics of Gibraltar (or comparable [British] Crown Dependencies (the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey)) generally. 87.102.116.36 (talk) 22:16, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. If you'd bothered to look at the source cited in the article, this is a bill that has been announced by Gibraltar's chief minister. As for whether Gibraltarian laws use their coat of arms, you may wish to check European Union (Referendum) Act 2016 (Gibraltar), and the official Gibraltarian Laws website. Finally, I'm not going to lower myself to your attempts at violating WP:PERSONAL. --RaviC (talk) 02:52, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Move to draftspace. The reliable source clearly says there will be a repeal bill in Gibraltar, but it does not say it will have the title given in this article. There's no reason to assume the Gibraltar title will be the same as the UK one. However, there should be clarity in the next few months, weeks or even days, so let's keep all that code ready to hand.

P.S. The English in the article is fine, and as far as I can see from the edit history, always has been. 87.102.116.36, might be a good idea to revisit WP:DONTBITE, as we all have bad days sometimes. Matt's talk 21:06, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Draft per WP:CRYSTAL / WP:TOOSOON. While it's likely the bill will go through, it's possible Theresa May may be accidentally eaten by a pack of hyenas, an emergency election is called, Caroline Lucas becomes PM and the bill is scrapped. (Okay, I may have exaggerated a bit....) Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 08:30, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
