re: #71 NO SMOCKING GUN!

Brexit first, then an election, with a fait accompli. Even if Labour wins, the UK will have already crashed out of the EU. The brexiteers will have gotten their way, even if they end up losing power for doing so.

True enough, but there’s nothing stopping a new British government from applying to rejoin the EU if they so desired. That’s covered under Article 49.

In theory a new PM could do that as a massive “fuck you” to the Brexiteers.
