The provisions in the bill have prompted significant disquiet, particularly after the Northern Ireland secretary, Brandon Lewis, told the Commons earlier this month that they did break international law “in a very specific and limited way”.
The subsequent furore saw two Tory MPs vote against the bill at its initial Commons vote earlier this month, with 30 more abstaining, although some of these did not vote because they were absent.
No Conservative MPs voted against the bill on Tuesday night, though more than 20 did not vote, with the majority assumed to be abstentions, Theresa May among them.
That is debatable but the law comes secondary to your Nations welfare and that of its peoples!

the law doesnt come secondary to anything no man is above the law
the government is instituted among men to protect individual rights and to uphold the law
the politicians swore into parliament and to uphold the rule of democracy and the rule of law
and they have failed us on this occasion

so you dont agree at all that governments should adhere to the law and uphold democracy ?
or you dont agree that the law has been broken and the government have failed us ?
We are not talking about a 'man' but the Nation and that's 65m+ people! And laws if unjust have always been challenged by the peoples of our Nation! And in many cases for good reason.
