The EU: where votes don't count if they turn out wrong

The EU high court tells Britain that they can universally reverse the Brexit vote. Why, because the stupid people voted the wrong way.

The European Union’s highest court ruled Monday that Britain could unilaterally reverse its decision to split from the 28-nation political bloc, a verdict that gave a boost to anti-Brexit campaigners.

The decision, which came a day before the British Parliament was scheduled to vote on Prime Minister Theresa May’s deeply unpopular Brexit deal, made clear that Britain has the ability to reverse itself any time before the March 29 deadline to leave the European Union. A legal question had arisen about whether a reversal would require the consent of the other 27 E.U. members, but the binding decision made clear that little stands in London’s way — should it want to return to the E.U. fold.


“The United Kingdom is free to revoke unilaterally the notification of its intention to withdraw from the E.U.,” the European Court of Justice said in its announcement.


The court ruling added to the tumult surrounding the Brexit deal, which has attracted little support from Britain’s warring political factions. The British Parliament was scheduled to vote on the deal Tuesday ahead of a summit of E.U. leaders in Brussels later this week, but reports swirled in London on Monday that May would pull the plug on the vote, presumably to try to win more concessions from the European Union.


The deal, which was unveiled last month and obeys the red lines set out by May and E.U. negotiators, has attracted little support in Britain. Pro-Brexit hard-liners say it keeps their country unacceptably entangled inside the E.U. market. Pro-E.U. campaigners say it would inflict major harm on the British economy and strip Britain’s voice in European decision-making while offering little benefit to the country.

The little people should have no say in their future. That is what professional Bureaucrats are for! They know best.

[Mister D]

Good. This will send a defiant message to Moscow!

To be fair, the British government seems incapable of coming up with a cohesive Brexit proposal, so in the short term it might almost be better for each party involved to just reverse the Brexit decision until a later date when a cohesive Brexit proposal can be developed, and then put THAT proposal up for a vote with the British citizenry.

Bull$#@!, GA. What is the difficulty for them?

[Lummy]

After doing "the right thing" the bureaucrats are now reassessing what they've done, and are all about how much cushier their jobs actually would be in the EU. That's how $#@!ing stupid and patriotic they are.

It's all a load of $#@!, commie.

[Green Arrow]

Bull$#@!, GA. What is the difficulty for them?

Follow current events, like, at all? The most realistic Brexit proposal they’ve come up with so far is Theresa May’s proposal, and it’s been panned as a disaster-in-waiting even by fans of Brexit.

I watched some of it, they are stalling, deceiving and the people will have to revolt.

They probably shouldn't have such national memorandums if they are going to crawfish on them.

The people who oppose Brexit won't ever come up with a proposal. The people voted to leave and are being ignored. Great Britain is at a point where it needs to leave and then negoiate whatever needs negoiated.
