The only problem being, that it would require a Commons majority to pass any proposed Bill.
Well, have a look at what we have here! Eurosceptic MP Philip Hollobone (Con., Kettering) has not only introduced a Bill to repeal the Act, but it is up for its Second Reading on 20th January! Yes, OK, it’s a Private Member’s Bill (PMB), and as such has virtually no realistic chance of becoming law, but…… David Steel’s Abortion Bill (1967) made it!
So, I have a cunning plan! Everybody in the UK writes to their MP, asking them to support this PMB! Even better than a rigged referendum! As long as it doesn’t get a sunset clause – or worse – guillotined 
But one thing puzzles me: For a few years, I have been on the mailing list of the Parliament clerks, and I get a weekly bulletin of Lords and Commons activities. NONE of them contain news of this Bill, which had its First Reading in JULY, I’ve checked! What’s with that?
