Whilst we are debating the decision of David Davis and Magna Carter (which some of us are) Some home truths:
European Arrest Warrant.
The European Arrest Warrant (EAW, or more rarely, EUAW) is an arrest warrant to allow the arrest of criminal suspects and their transfer for trial or detention which is valid throughout the states of the European Union (EU). The EAW is an attempt to increase the speed of extradition throughout EU countries, as well as change the mechanism from having a "political and administrative phase" into a system run by the judiciary

EU Biometric passports:
Supported by PSE, EPP and ALDE in the European Parliament. That's Labour, Tories and Lib Dems who, despite what they say about ID cards, supported the EU being in control of biometrics in our main ID document which would lead to 'further integration' of EU documents.

This wasn't one of those votes where most people didn't know what they were voting on/for because they had 10 votes in 2 seconds or something bizarre like that? (You will obviously know better that I the rules of procedure in the EU Parliament - well, when they are not breaking them that is...)
As someone who used to make voting lists for a group, the analysis of legislation in the EP takes months and no sensible MEP would go into a vote without a voting meeting beforehand. At the particular moment in time, it's a nightmare to know what you are voting on, but any discussions and changes should be made and discussed beforehand. When it's the final vote it is much easier than a numbered amendment. I will publish voting lists on blog on near future to show people what it's actually like.
