I wish I could share your confidence, Mark; I really do. But the inter-governmental agreement is a political convention not in statute, as is the Sewel convention. It's a political convention that is not enshrined in law. Our devolved powers that we've had are enshrined in statute, and we're about to lose them, frozen for eight years—seven plus one. So, that is enshrined in law. Others are conventions. So, we've lost powers, we have lost leverage. Now, Scotland can see that. Scottish Labour can see that. Even Jeremy Corbyn can see that. Why can't you? Vote against legislative consent.
