Only a couple days after stating the government’s attempt to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, Teresa May’s government says it is prepared to go to war to defend Gibraltar’s sovereignty.

Spain dropped its opposition to Scottish independence (Spain opposed it on the grounds it might encourage Spanish regions to do the same) to seek entrance into the EU.

Gibraltar voted overwhelmingly in the Brexit referendum to remain in the EU.

This is exactly the sort of thing the EU was intended to eliminate (warfare between European nations).

This is the Crimean conflict transplanted onto the mainland. Russia insists that an overwhelming majority of the Crimeans voted to to Urainexit and become Russians.

SO what happens in the case of a majority vote for Gibraltrexit?
