The UK will be able to selectively repel laws afterwards. It's kicking the can down the road, since there is no way they can handle that particular can presently.
It is basically a lot of ado about nothing, with a grandiose sounding name which keeps on perpetuating the myth that the EU is imposing legislation (most legislation has to be approved unanimously, and the UK has veto rights), while doing nothing at all.
In two years time they'll actually start repelling some legislation, and that's what will be tricky, since every law protects/benefits a certain interest group. We'll see years of in-fighting about former EU law.
- trendia 10y agoYou've described how we were told the EU would work. But organizations have a tendency to get around restrictions on their power. As a result, the UK does not have veto power and the EU is pretty much a legislative body without the appropriate representation. https://youtube.com/watch?v=gILTIDr4Ra8 https://youtube.com/watch?v=gILTIDr4Ra8
