Absolutely does if you are referencing precedent.

The whole point of the EU is that you have multiple independent entities in a single bloc. It's on a scale that is unknown anywhere else. That's why you need a Parliament.

That doesn't make it a single country. It's the fact that it isn't a single country and has no plans to be one that makes it complex.

Although funnily enough, contrary to those who claim the EU is trying to steal national identities, it is often the EU regulations that specify that things have to be done in local languages in order to protect the separate identities. It's also often the EU that offers protections for local specialties and supports local cultural activities.

Minority languages like Gaelic and Welsh have often been shielded by the EU and offered protections that they probably would not have received from Westminster.
 
I am loving this Brexit shambles. With news of a possible VONC in PM Theresa May, I've managed to transfer funds from Euro to GBP at fantastic rates. €1/£0.91 just this evening.

Was £0.87 just a couple of weeks ago.

Yep, the pound is much weaker against the yen as well. More spending money for me when I visit. Thanks Theresa!
 
I like the way we're taking back control(tm) by letting rich Tories select the leader of the country without input from the electorate. Again.
 
May's biggest mistake was her seeking an unnecessary general election. If she had not done that then a very different transition deal would have been possible; it would have been possible then to sell a deal that wouldn't have suited the NI MPs but she could have ignored that or rather spun it with enough flowery but meaningless language and achieved her one overriding ambition I. E. remained PM.

You are complaining? Look what happens when you let the little people make a decision!


Seriously this has always been about who is PM for most of the more prominent Tories.
 
In a vox pop I heard over the last few days someone who claimed he voted leave saying that if we don't leave or there is another referendum he will never vote again, nor will his wife and daughter.... Gives me a little bit of hope... ;)

If a Peoples Vote meant all the nasty little bigots and thickos never voted again this country might actually have gained something from Brexit after all.
 
Brexiteers discover the benefits of being in a strong Union of 500m people and 27 countries. if only the UK had something similar, eh?
